The Effective Approach To Rapid Self-Improvement And Learning
The faster you improve and learn, the better your life will be.
However, it is easy to become overwhelmed with new information, whether in school, corporate, or freelance. You look up to the world masters in your field and ask yourself. “How am I going to learn this?”. Maybe you end up procrastinating and numbing out instead of facing your current inadequacies and inefficiencies.
Luckily, this one statement below presents a way out:
Getting to where you want to go requires knowing where you are
Einstein once said:
If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.”
Like a GPS signal, the more you know your current situation, the better you can map out what you need to work on to accomplish whatever you desire. If you take the time to diagnose what is happening, the solutions will pop right in front of you.
You are thus able to do small constant improvements. You notice what can improve now, wherever you are. Maybe it is posture, your typing speed, unnecessary movements, too many tensions in your face, or a cluttered desk or home screen.
Once you pay attention to what is happening around you and improve constantly, you will skyrocket in your learning. You know what to do, and you do it.
Being totally present is the best way to know where you are
Imagine a loud fan that has been active for 30 minutes. You do not notice it at first but feel profound relief when it is off.
In the same way, your mind is often running around in the background, dwelling on the past and future. But it weakens your GPS signal and distracts you from the current reality. If you are totally present instead, you see the current situation in 4K (a better resolution than HD), getting the ultimate grip on what you can do at this moment.
So next time you feel overwhelmed and behind, pause for a minute. Breathe, look, listen or feel your body. Notice what you can immediately do to improve your life right now and in the future. Then take action!
