ITS TIME TO ACTION

FINAL THOUGHT

1.         Accelerate learning skills is not about rushing.  It is about planning, retaining, stress free and consistent learning.  It is all about learning of car driving.  Initially, it looks very difficult.  In first driving lesson, the instructor talked about clutch control, blind spots, Steering.  My palms were sweaty, my heart raced, and the brake pedal became my best friend.  I started the engine numerous times before first pickup.  I learned my first lesson in accelerated learning.  That was Chunk it down, it means focus on one skill at a time.  Divide the big targets in micro-targets and learnings.  Day one became about just learning how to start and stop smoothly. 

 

2.         When you are start learning anything new.  Don’t try to eat the whole elephant in one bite, it leads to overwhelm.  Chunking makes it digestible and tasty.

 

3.         The day came when my instructor said, let us go through the market road.  My instinct Panic. But my instructor smiled.  This is how you level up.  So Growth comes from tension-not from comfort.

 

o   Focus on one skill at a time.

 

o   Step outside your comfort zone.

 

o   Be patient and consistent.

 

4.         You didn’t master in any of the task in one day.  But with repetition, patience, calmness and resilience, you didn’t just learn-you learn how to accelerate your learning skills.
