The most powerful skill you can develop: Meta-learning -- learning how to learn. I've completed over 1000 hours of self-study during med school. Here are my 5 simple strategies to help you learn smarter, not harder:

Solopreneurs, I'm curious: Why did you go solo instead of founding or joining a startup?

Online learners, what’s in your toolkit? My essentials: • A learning plan • Like-minded peers • Purposeful motivation • Engaging projects for practice • A curated collection of resources This makes my success rate MUCH higher. How do YOU guarantee what you learn sticks?

Programming is knowing how to learn. For years, I've been obsessed with becoming a better learner. I'm 100% an online course junkie. But now that I'm on my coding journey, my "metalearning" skills are more valuable than ever. Want to learn to code? Learn to learn first.

This is what Think Stack should've become. Excited to see what knowledge and wisdom Collider Space is going to bring into the world. Seeing that they're a team and not a single content creator, I have good hopes for this.

Ever heard of game film? It's a recording of a sports match or practice, shot from different angles so athletes can learn and improve. But what about game film for knowledge work? I've seen some developers code live on YouTube so others can learn from them, but I haven't heard anyone analyzing their performance via the recordings. So, I've been thinking of recording my learning (to code) sessions. Why? To boost my learning pace and help others who want to see the nitty-gritty details of learning a complex digital skill like programming. Do you already watch videos from someone practicing (digital) skills? I'd love to see more examples!

About to relaunch my newsletter. What would be a fitting subdomain? The name of the newsletter is “Sunday School” and it’s about learning how to learn (and teach) digital skills online. Please help me decide 🙏👇

The Think Stack newsletter will relaunch soon! But now it'll be a more personal newsletter with a sharp focus on learning and teaching digital skills online. Suggestions for names and domains are welcome 🙏

What’s your favorite book on learning? I’ll go first: Ultralearning by @ScottHYoung. It showed me that learning hard skills (fast) is possible by making it a focused project. What book has opened your eyes or given you the best learning advice? 🤓💬

Most people suck at learning new skills. They spend too much time studying and not enough time applying what they know. To learn fast, practice more than you read.

The @framer Zero to Hero Notion template is now live! A roadmap of official Framer resources curated to teach you must-know features, and save you hours of sifting through documentation. Link 👇

What do you track when learning new skills? I’m working on a skill tracker and dashboard in @NotionHQ and wondering how others use it to manage their learning projects. How do you use it for… • Planning? • Resources? • Practice sessions? Please drop your suggestions 👇 🙏

To remember what you read: ⛔️ Don’t highlight. ✅ Write summaries.
