How I Learn Anything For Free
And how you can do it too
Learning is my favorite hobby.
Over the years, I have realized that effective learning (or learning how to learn) is not magic. It is science. As a student from Latin America, I have designed a system that allows me to learn anything I want.
And for free.
This is my step-by-step system.
1. Learning How To Learn A Topic
In other words, meta-learning.
My first reflex when thinking about learning a new topic is to ask:
- What I want to learn?
- Why I want to learn that?
- How I can learn that?
Answering these helps me visualize how knowledge is structured.
Plus, I can determine whether I am really motivated to learn that. For example, I learned programming and machine learning because I would need them in the future as a researcher.
However, learning Japanese only to understand Anime has a big chance of failing (this was a real scenario).
Once you understand your needs and motivations, go to the next step.
