LEARNING TO LEARN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

When you're starting something new, the most important thing is knowing what to learn. The optimal learning flow involves very quickly identifying what the foundational knowledge is, building a personal curriculum to become an expert, and sprinting hard in the first hours to impress initial memory, then decelerating to a more regular place. Knowing how to learn is an extremely high-leverage skill. Being productively honest is one of the most effective and kindest things you can do for yourself.
