4-Stage System for Learning Anything New

Check out this article: My 4-Stage System for Learning Anything New

Stage 1: Immersion
* Subscribe to newsletters
* Follow (and read/view) thought leaders
* Reallocate time away from other/older interests


Stage 2: Building – Make Something Real
* Set a short deadline (one day to one week maximum)
* Choose a simple, concrete project
* Accept that it will be messy and imperfect
* Focus on completing something, not making it perfect


Stage 3: Structured Learning – Find Your Mentors
* Instead of trying to learn from everyone, pick just 1-3 people max to treat as your mentors.
* Choose teachers based on results, not popularity


Stage 4: Connection – Build Real Relationships
* Learning becomes exponentially more powerful when you’re part of a community of practitioners. And when you become a leader who brings others together, you accelerate not just your own learning but everyone else’s, too.


Secret Ingredient: Cultivating Play in Learning
* The beautiful paradox is that when we stop taking learning so seriously, we often learn more effectively


The Hidden Truth
* Most interests are meant to be explored for a season, not turned into lifelong pursuits
* The real test of any skill isn’t how you feel about it—it’s whether you can produce externally verifiable results in the real world
* Give yourself permission to stop at any stage
* If something doesn’t spark continued interest after Stage 1 or 2, let it go without shame. That’s not failure—that’s efficient filtering
