Create feedback loops. Life is a continuous cycle of ideation implementation and iteration. The faster you can complete the cycle, the faster you can progress. In order to be successful in any capacity, you have to create several layers of feedback loops.
If you think about it the human body is really a few hundred maybe even million feedback loops stacked on top of the other. The immune system is a feedback loop, the liver is a feedback loop within a feedback loop you get the point. You do good thing you get good result. You eat healthy you look good. You eat poorly you don't. You eat poison you throw up. Tight feedback loop. You lose your love for life and the light in your eyes dims while your wife clamours for any sort of validation from you a deep chasm begins to spread between you and then one day you come home and there's a manila folder on the table, her belongings are nowhere to be seen. You knew this day was coming but never expected it to be today. Long feedback loop.
So in order to learn you essentially need to create feedback loops for yourself that optimize for iteration, ideation and implementation. First, you need to think about what it is you're trying to do as specifically as possible. This is ideation. Let's say I want to be an artist. What kind of artist? Who do you want to work with? Where do you want to live? What do you want people to learn/feel from the art? Where does the art live? Etc etc. Once you've thought as much as you can but crucially not overthought, it's time to implement. At this stage you usually realize you have many misconceptions about many things, not limited to who you really are what you really want and how the world really works. You may find out it's not really worth it to get your art to live where you initially thought you wanted. Maybe there's somewhere else way cooler you discover on your implementation. Be open, be flexible. Jeff said something along the lines of be adamant on the mission but flexible on the details. So in this example, being an artist is essential. How I go about becoming that is the issue. So then that leads us neatly into iteration. So now that we've thought it through and we have real actionable data to refine our thoughts with we essentially repeat the process ad infinitum until the desired goal is reached. Iteration. The tighter the loop is, the quicker you're able to cycle through the steps and iterate, the faster you'll be able to learn. You want to ideally be iterating daily. Hourly. Think of how often phones update their software. Now think about how much more powerful computationally you are than a phone. When was the last time you updated your OS?
The world is moving and shaking perhaps faster than ever and if you don't keep up unfortunately you'll get left behind. The good news is if you're reading this you're already a step ahead.
