These 8 steps can help you learn anything faster:

🧪 Understand dopamine
🎯 Use value-based habits
🔄 Combine cognitive + procedural learning
🧠 Practice active recall
🧘‍♀️ Prioritize sleep & exercise
🎉 Break tasks into mini-wins
🎮 Use brain “cheat codes”

Step 7: Beat procrastination with mini-wins.

Overwhelmed by big tasks? Break them into tiny steps:

1️⃣ Focus on just starting.
2️⃣ Celebrate small progress (dopamine boost!).
3️⃣ Build momentum as you go.

Small steps = big results.

Step 8: Your brain has “cheat codes” for learning:

👉 Link new info to what you already know.
👉 Alternate focus with downtime (your brain processes in the background).
👉 Questions = fuel for learning.

Use AI tools like spaced repetition app (like Memrise) to learn better.

Step 6: Use exercise to supercharge your brain🏃‍♀️

Exercise boosts:

👉 Neuroplasticity (your brain’s adaptability).
👉 Focus and creativity.

Pair exercise with learning—listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or practice mental math during workouts.

Step 5: Sleep is your secret weapon 🛌

While you sleep, your brain:

👉 Strengthens memories (via sleep spindles).
👉 Improves motor skills (via REM sleep).

Optimize your sleep: 7–8 hours nightly, consistent schedule = better learning outcomes.

Step 4: Use active recall for deep learning.

Passive learning = forgettable.
Active recall = unforgettable.

How?

👉 Quiz yourself after reading.
👉 Teach others what you’ve learned.
👉 Solve problems from memory first, THEN check solutions.

Struggle = learning.

Step 3: Combine two learning types for mastery:

1️⃣ Cognitive learning = thinking about the skill.
2️⃣ Procedural learning = practicing the skill.

Example: Reading about tennis (cognitive) vs. hitting balls on the court (procedural).

You need both 🎾

Step 1: Understand your brain’s reward system.

Dopamine is your brain’s motivation fuel.

👉 Big tasks feel overwhelming = low dopamine.
👉 Breaking tasks into small wins = dopamine boost.

Set mini-goals to keep momentum alive.

[Steven Abraham @steventabraham]

Step 2: Build habits with your brain’s “value function.”

Your brain predicts rewards before acting:

👉 High reward = more focus.
👉 Low reward = boredom.

Link learning to things you already love.

Example: Use a hobby to practice math or writing.

I spent hours researching the science of learning.

Why?

As a dad of two, I want my kids to know that learning HOW to study is just as important as learning WHAT to study.

Here's what I discovered about how to learn complex subjects: 🧵

tl;dr: How to learn complex subjects fast:

Understanding your brain's process
Filtering for usefulness
Linking to existing knowledge
Sparking curiosity
Gamifying the experience
Creating the right environment
Using effective techniques
