1. Use the 80/20 Rule

This approach means to learn quickly, For example, when it comes to learning a language a good question to begin with is: what are the 20% of the words that are used 80% of the time? So, find the 80/20 rule in the subject of your studies. What are the main ideas? What are the most important elements that yield the biggest revisit on investment?

2. View Failure as Feedback

We often try to avoid failure at all costs. We normally appoint in pastimes we feel competent in and try not to venture out of our comfort pits for fear of looking like a dork. We play it safe.

3. Simplify

The idea of the phenomenal human learner who reads 15 books on different subjects at once, while learning 10 different languages and writing 3 novels, is a myth. Multitasking leads to poor performance.

4. Small Rewards

From the outside video games seem illogical. We choose to use up hundreds of hours carrying out tasks that don’t need to be done, don’t recover our lives outside of the game, and we pay to do it. The secret video games have is the balance between reward and challenge. When you’re playing a video game you don’t need to wait until the end of the month to get your reward. You get it immediately. There’s an ongoing feedback loop throughout the task, sort of like having a mentor offering their feedback as you go.

5. Balance Skepticism with Open Mindedness

Both of these masters were scientific and creative in equal doses. They knew how to be scientific, but they also knew the limits of logic when compared to imagination. To be a quick learner you have to treat every past idea, no matter how it first appears, with a pinch of salt, while at the same time respecting it enough to test it out.

6. Do Not Pretend To Understand When You Don’t

I made this mistake when I went scuba diving in Cyprus. I have your head in the clouds all the way through the seminar expecting to learn while I was in the water. That was a big mistake. When you have heavy equipment on your back, being just a few feet underwater actually feels like you’re on the bottom of the ocean. It was terrifying.

7. Ask Experts for Advice

The great thing about living in the information age is that there are plenty of experts to learn from. While having one-to-one tuition from a master is useful, it’s not necessary. We can find mentors on YouTube or in books that we can learn from by imitation.

8. Practice What Has Been Learned

The three essential components of skill acquisition are passion, deep practice and master coaching. And in actual this theory not including an application is a huge waste of time. Someone has very true that one has to make a simple decision to start speaking it every day even if he looked like an idiot. In less than three months he was fluent.

9. Keep A Positive Attitude

Positive psychologist Martin Seligman has done lots of research on learned optimism. While everyone has a range, everyone can improve their level of optimism. If you want to be a quick learner, optimism should be one of the first things you learn.

10. Ask “Why” Five Times To Go Deeper

It casual that whenever we see someone perform a magic trick, we’re usually presented with three acts: the pledge, the turn and the prestige. Good learners look deeper than what is merely presented on the surface. Quick learners ask why multiple times, even when they think they know the answer. They probe further. Knowing is not enough, we must understand.
