Learn any skill in light-speed using AI

Acquiring new skills has always been a painful process for me. 

It was such a huge task that, eventually, my brain procrastinated on it.

Until I turned it into an easy game, I could play with ChatGPT.

Though it requires few mental exercises but, the process has become 10 times easier.

I've divided the process into 5 easy steps:

1. Break down your problems

2. Roadmap to acquire new skills

3. Finding a trusted source to learn it

4. Summarize your learning and teaching it

5. Post it for your audience and get feedback

Let’s dive in.

1.Break down your problems

The number one thing stopping you from learning new things is clarity. 

As cliche as it sounds, it will prevent you from running in 5 directions simultaneously. 

Confusion is the biggest killer of action. 

You need to find clarity on your problems.

Ask ChatGPT to do it for you.

Prompt

Problem: I have worked/studied in X industry for X years. My role is X. I'm struggling to achieve X ( desired state). 

Task: Can you shed light on possible problems I may have? You can also ask more questions to get better output. 

Though some of the reasons it spits out might be known, some even irrelevant, but you'll get an outsider's perspective. 

2. Roadmap to acquire new skills

Every problem needs new skills to solve. If you had the skills, you wouldn't have the situation in the first place. But what may look like that you only need to acquire 1 skill-set is the work of 5 sub-skills.

Prompt

Problem: [ Insert your takeaways from above]

Role: You are a world-class [skill/topic] teacher with +20 years of experience.

Task: What are the sub-skills required to become masterful at [skill]?

Create a mind map on the skills required for [skill/topic].

List out the central ideas, main branches and sub-branches.

Once you identify the problems, it's time to create a 90-day plan. 

The easiest way to stick to the plan is to focus on output, not outcome. Focus on what you can control. Create all the output you'll do and create a weekly to-do -list to mark off whether you've completed your actions.

3.Find a trusted source

A good source is like a good teacher, which makes the subject easier and fun for you. 

You need to surround yourself with the best sources so the learning process doesn't bore you to death. I have a simple rule for this scenario. Learn the fundamentals from an old source. Learn the tactics from a new source.

To find fundamentals, ChatGPT will provide you with the best-scanned sources from 70 years of Data. So, I would rely on it.

But for tactics, quickly search YT, Reddit, and Google to find relevant Information.

Prompt

Problem: I want to learn X skills ( put sub-skills) for X purposes. Give me the 5 best books/lectures/sources to master the fundamentals.

4.Summarize your learning

I love Tiago Forte's second brain book. It gave the simplest framework to capture notes. It's called Highlighting 2.0. Earlier, my note-taking system was terrible - I would mark everything and never go back to them.

Now, my system is to highlight my curiosity by paragraph first, highlight the main sentence, and eventually write an executive summary in my own words. 

When you handwrite things, you remember them longer - it's called the generalization effect.

So, I would leave ChatGPT out of this part, but still, to get an outside opinion, I would ask ChatGPT to give a quick summary of the source to find new angles I might have missed.

Prompt

Give me a 10-point actionable summary of X sources.

5.Real-time feedback

The best way to refine your learning is to teach it.

And writing content for your audience is the best way I know.

I use this simple framework to produce the content.

1. Lessons I learned while learning new skills

2. A step-by-step guide to solving that problem with new skills

3. Mistakes I made while applying that solution

Though you can use the tool for feedback, I would take its feedback with a pinch of salt. It's not reliable. After all, it's a machine. But if you want to, here's the prompt:

Prompt:

Role: You are [a person that inspires you] and a language teacher.

Context: I want to learn [language] through a written conversation and get immediate feedback on how I can improve.

Task: Let's have a conversation about [topic you want to learn].

For everything I write, I want you to:

1) correct my sentence structure and word choice in bullets and 

2) reply as [a person that inspires you] to what I said. 

Here's my first text:

This simple process has allowed me to acquire one additional skill every month.

And that skill has added more revenue to my business.
