I used to believe the same thing ...

And it ended up costing me big time... ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   You know ... One of my all-time favorite movies is Robin William's 1998's movie Patch Adams. Why? Well, besides the amazing real-life story of how this man was able to overcome adversity and make an impact in other people's life... There's something else we I think we can all learn from the movie. Something that most people don't notice. And it's about Patch relationship with his roomate, Mitch Roman. At some point during the movie, Roman tells the dean of medicine Patch was cheating on his exams. And when Patch confronts him about this, Mitch says.. I live with you. I know how much you study, or I should say don't study.´ And you do better than me. Give me a break! Mitch had the traditional perception most college students have. That learning is about sacrifice. About studying relentlessly. That you need to stay up all night and consume ridicuoluous amounts of coffee to learn a skill. That's the key. Nothing else matters. And believe it or not ... That's what's still being taught at schools and colleges all around the world. Like many others... I used to believe the same thing. And it ended up costing me. Big time. I was always studying. 7 cups of coffee a day. Always with my head inside a book. And still... no matter how many hours in a row I spent studying. I was barely making any progress. And to make matters worst. I got so obsessed with mastering new skills and being successful that... I stopped paying attention to the most important part of my life. I ended up spending less and less time with the things that mattered the most. I was barely seeing my children. I never had time to watch a movie with my family. I drove away the people who always had a helping hand for me. I was about to quit when I remembered that scene from that movie . So I started wondering... Could this be done in real life? Was it possible to learn new skills without having to sacrifice anything in life? And that's when it hit me. As it turned out, it was actually possible to do this. The was to not focus on the amount of hours we studied. But on the number of repetitions we did. See ... It's easy to say that we've studied for eight hours in a row". But if we're being honest... How many of those hours we actually spend in focused attention? Plus, if we were pulling an all nighter, our levels of attention get even lower. Just think about it... Most of us probably don’t remember much of anything we learned in high school. So, instead of saying I was going to study for six hours I got rid of the clock. And I started focusing reading the material I had to master six times. I'd also make sure to space out the repetitions so my brain had enough time to process all the information. And after I did that ... Things started going for the better. My learning speed literally doubled. It became so much easier to remember new topics and concepts. I wasn't overwhelmed with information anymore. Those long study nights piling up coffee mugs on my desk were over. Instead, I'd set a schedule and clear goals, and repeat the same concepts every day. And that allowed me to master the skills I needed faster. All without having to do any sacrifices. So next time you want to learn a skill faster. Give this approach a try. You won't regret it. I promise. Keep moving forward, Leon P.S. If you want to learn how to master learning and have access to better jobs and more opportunities in life... I wrote a book that will help you do just that. It's called the [Learn Anything Fast Handbook.]( Inside, you'll find the secrets on how to MASTER learning and acquire the skills you need to succeed in life.
