I'm obsessed with learning.

So, I spent 100+ hours studying the science behind how we develop skills and absorb information.

Here's what I found on hacking your brain to learn 10x faster.

The Huberman Super-Learning Protocol:

@Tyler_Van_Acker Just woke up from one :)

The best entrepreneurs spend most of their day wondering if it’s too early for a nap.

I know your inner perfectionist says:

“Just one more tweak.”

It’s lying.

Ship it.

You’ll learn more in one launch than in a year of polishing.

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

The invisible middle decides it all.

Not the start.
Not the pivot.
Not moving faster.

It's fighting through the dry spell when no one's clapping, but everything's changing.

Keep moving when the dopamine fades.

Life Hack:

Be a marketer who knows how to code.

@selfmonetized I mean technically you could say it’s 60 minutes ?

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

The title: “… in minutes”

The video: 1 hour.

Treat your curiosity like a compass.

It never steers you wrong.

One thing I learned today:

If you can't focus, don't fight it.

Trace it.

There's usually a thought you're avoiding. Something that feels uncomfortable or uncertain.

And right behind it? That's where clarity lives.

@parkerworth Sorting lists by bullet length

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

@yourgwriter That was the point :)

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

I bought the world's worst thesaurus.

Not only is it terrible…

It's terrible.

@thedanielaros Or possibly too ambitious? So they’ll always see the gap (of what they haven’t yet achieved) rather than how far they’ve come.

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

@thedanielaros Small wins stack up

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

@thedanielaros Worth the effort though

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

Everyone wants leverage.

Nobody wants to:

• Turn creative chaos into a system
• Automate the stuff they do 100 times
• Think like an operator, not just a creator

Leverage isn't found. It's built.

@Tyler_Van_Acker I noticed I have to go on a walk immediately after food. Once I sit on the couch for “just a moment” it’s over. Lol

@leadgenpenn 100% man

[David Schwertfeger @dschwertfeger]

I've learned this the hard way:

Unfinished work doesn't teach you anything. You don't grow until you ship.

Even if it flops… finishing > fantasizing.

If you're stuck, ship something. Anything. That's how you move.

@kushi_grafixx That’s the spirit
