emilwallner··on How to Acquire Knowledge
TLDR: 1) Acquire chunks of knowledge and apply them in different settings. 2) Take breaks to improve your memory and your ability to solve problems. 3) Structure your learning. Map out prerequisites, and start with concepts that you need 80% of the time. Prioritize knowledge that adds genuine, direct value. 4) Learn in differing environments, work with knowledge in differing ways and use multiple senses. 5) Read other’s learning journeys, have mentors, and gain feedback. Work on your ability to be vulnerable in order to do all of this effectively. 6) Leverage your emotions by making information and problems more engaging.

It's a good article, but I think it fills the same function as waitbutwhy.com's articles - and they are stronger in this case.

Meditation is mentioned briefly. I agree, for the coming iterations this will have more focus. I'm a big fan of Headspace - I use it every morning.

You are right, at a first glance it's just a list of resources. It's designed to break down 'how to minimize procrastination' into a subset of jobs, and then matching them with the best resources to solve them. Users can challenge the subset of jobs, and resources to achieve them. This way it will become easier to tackle procrastination over time.

haha, nice point. It's designed so that other people can challenge the structure and the resources in it. So when you come back to it it will always be better.

Let me know if you have any feedback on how to improve it, or know of any better resources than the ones suggested.
emilwallner··on A collaborative step-by-step guide to build habits
I’ve been playing around with a new format to create step-by-step guides. It’s a way to optimize how we approach something we want to learn, know where to start, and the best resources to use. I’d love your support in trying it out. This is how you can help: 1) If you think there is a better way to break down ‘how we build habits’, you can create a new learning list. If you like learning steps in other learning list you can drag and drop them to your list. 2) If you think the structure is good, but certain learning steps suck, then you can click on ‘alternatives to this learning step’, and submit your own take on it.
