Learning

What's the benefit of creating a learning section and how do I start?

​​​

The benefit of this section is simple. Every bit of knowledge we come across is completely useless, unless we are able to implement it. We won't often get a chance to implement the lessons that touch us from books, podcasts or any other resource. Despite our best intentions this great idea, we know will help us, will fade. And we'll continue to approach our hurdles with the same methods used in the past.

 

Most of what we read or learn, we'll forget. If we don't forget, we'll be solely relying on what comes to mind as our only solution, even in moments we're not feeling our best.

 

By developing your learning section, you'll retain those keys insights and prompts to consider a different method or approach. Even to use in moments when you may not be resourceful in your thinking and can't quite figure out what step to take next. 

 

This area isn’t a race to write down everything you come across. It’s an awareness to know what insight, knowledge or perspective we can use to make a difference, and in what moment we need to use it. This section consolidates your best resources, in a succinct place for easy reference when you find yourself needing answers.

 

Power from this process comes as you begin to develop your library. If that takes you two months or two years, you will significantly increase your development by being resourceful and intelligent with the knowledge you encounter.

​

How you start is simple. As you read or listen to content, if a sentence, quote or idea touches you, take a quick moment to note it down. This can be in your journal or even in a notes section in a phone if you have it available. Note the resource, for example podcast title and guest, then underneath write down what sentence or concept touched you.

 

Over time you'll build a summerised lists of those helpful perspectives, ready to use when you need it.
