A Better Way to Learn

Yabusame – Tim Ferriss from Kevin Rose on Vimeo.

Tim Ferriss has a lot of credits to his name:

  • Record holding Tango dancer
  • Speaks multiple languages
  • Author of NYT best selling book, twice.
  • TV Star
  • Internet Star

I mean seriously this guy gets things done. What I want you to see from this video is the way he breaks down an extremely difficult task into something he can do. He takes unfamiliar movements and uses movements he is familiar with to conquer them. In the video above he likens reloading his bow with reaching for a lost scuba mask, brilliant.

He learns fast because he takes a very scientific method of learning.

  • Break down the key movements or ideas
  • Relate them to familiar activities
  • Recognize your strengths and weaknesses
  • Train better than you need to. (He needs to reload in 9 seconds, he trains to reload in 7)
  • Learn by watching pros
  • Have confidence

Those are just a few of the learning keys you are going to learn by watching this 45 minute video. The greatness of the way he learns is that you can use it for anything.

Do you a way of learning that helps you get things done faster? Leave it in the comments.
