How to Learn New Skills? And Master it

Learning.

Learning new things.

We all know it’s important.

It’s more than important.

It is essential. It’s vital for our growth.

We are what we are because of what we learned.

And we need to learn new things that’ll take us where we want to be.

Yet, we find it difficult to learn, retain and master new skills.

Of course, we buy books or courses.

We read blog posts.

We watch tons and tons of youtube videos.

But, do we learn anything from them?

Not much.

We might pick up a thing or two from them.

Why?

What has changed?

We blame it on how busy we are, how less time we got, and how old we have become.

But, those aren’t the real reasons.

Those are the excuses we give to fool ourselves.

The actual reasons are entirely different.

That’s what I’ve tried to discuss in my latest blog post How To Learn & Master A New Skill.

This blog post talks about...

- How did we learn to stand up, balance, and walk? How we have come a long way from there. [Trust me, it matters]

- How and why we lost the secret to happiness? [It was essential for learning and growing & when we lost it, we almost lost everything]

- How our education system has messed up with our learning process? [No, it’s not the conspiracy theory that’s out there]

- What’s the correlation between motivation and learning?

- What’s the right approach to learn new things so that what we learn stays with us for a long time?

- The mistake we make that hurts our progress to the expert level.

- Why learning basics and setting a strong foundation is critical to becoming a real expert

- The simple technique that helped me to improve my expertise from 4/10 to 7/10

- The universal secret of all thought leaders out there

And more

That’s what my new blog post, How To Learn & Master A New Skill talks about.

Cheers

Thanks for reading this blog!

The Search Console Training lives on

In November 2019 we announced the Search Console Training YouTube series and started publishing videos regularly. The goal of the series was to create updated video content to be used alongside Search documentation, for example in the Help Center and in the Developers site . The wonderful Google Developer Studio team (the engine behind those videos!) put together this fun blooper reel for the first wave of videos that we recorded in the Google London studio. So far we’ve published twelve episodes in the series, each focusing on a different part of the tool. We’ve seen it’s helping lots of people to learn how to use Search Console - so we decided to continue recording videos… at home! Please bear with the trucks, ambulances, neighbors, passing clouds, and of course the doorbell. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In addition to the location change, we’re also changing the scope of the new videos. Instead of focusing on one report at a time, we’ll discuss how ...

3 Business Lessons from Strategy Games

I am not sure how much computer games you play. Do you? I am a gamer and I love strategy games which involve planning. My favourite game is Red Alert. I have been playing Red Alert 3 for a very long time and its a war game. I realized, I have learned a lot of business lessons by playing Red Alert. And here are the top 3. 1. Don't Attack Too Soon In Red Alert, we have limited time and resources. I have to build an army with those resources and then attack my enemy. If I did not build a large enough army, I will lose the battle and also my troops. Once I lose my troops, I have to rebuild it from scratch. If I build a large enough troop after looking at my enemy, and attack with everything I have, I have a chance of winning. In business, it is similar. If you build a product and if it is not as good as your competitors, you will fail. Once you take it to the market and fail, there is no coming back. So have some patience and build a good product. Whe...
