Save time by reading my notes on the video “How to learn how to learn?” by Oussama Ammar. If you like the notes, make sure to watch the video to get the complete picture !

The most impressive entrepreneurs are the ones with the most impressive learning curve. Even when they are in a position of “knowledge”, they never stop learning. So keep on reading to learn how to learn 📈

✨ Everything you don’t know is on the internet: Google, Quora, Wikipedia

💪 Know your weaknesses and your strengths, capitalize on your strengths.

✂️ Chunk and Process: Splitting the problem into small chunks is making you at ease, ready to learn.

🏋 Train your memory: Memory is an unfair advantage, work on it (example: replay your day in your head in the evening).

☀️ Do and Simulate: Put yourself into the right emotional situation to learn (example: as a student pilot, wear a pilot costume 🛫).

😴 Procrastination is not an enemy: It’s ok and it’s part of the learning process.

🗣 Talk talk talk: You can learn anything just by picking up the phone, asking on Quora… Only shyness is preventing you from learning faster.

💖 Use Metaphors.

👩‍🏫 Teach others: Teaching is the best way to make sure your knowledge is solid. If your public is not understanding, it’s your fault (once you’re OK with it, you’ll know what to work on).

🔗 Connect the dots: Learn everyday and you’ll stitch together your bits of learning later.

💥 Expand the foundation: anything you learn will help you learn more.

📝 Taking notes, a double edged sword: Some people don’t learn when taking notes ⚠️
