Deep Learning – Part Five

Stoicable July 12, 2022

Recap

Deep Learning

For a beginner, it’s between 1 to 2 hours. Start with no more than two hours.

With practice, you can increase your deep learning time up to 4 hours.

Research has found that the average proficient learner cannot manage any more than four hours of deep work or deep learning. Any longer and they found themselves shifting back to superficial work; unable to keep up the intense concentration and effort required for deep learning.

This doesn’t mean you only work for 1-4 hours a day. Most of your learning doesn’t require deep learning.

Deep learning involves making a conscious effort to give your absolute focus to the learning task. It’s perfectly fine to take the gas off and complete your learning with less intensity. Just make sure you begin with your deep learning first.

When creating a foundation, don’t leave blanks. Make sure you’ve answered every single one of your questions before progressing with your learning. Learning is climbing a ladder. If you miss a rung, you won’t be able to climb higher than you already are.

Does this mean you need to answer your questions right away?

No. If anything, answering your questions immediately can be a disadvantage. The preferred method, which talk about in another lesson, is to answer your questions in blocks.

So what’s the point, then? Make sure you answer all of your questions before you move on to the next level of learning. The level that builds on top of the one you’re on now.

First. And if you can, in the morning.

Here’s why:

  • Your motivation peaks in the morning.
  • Your focus and willpower is highest in the morning.
  • When you begin your day with the accomplishment of completing your most challenging tasks, this pushes you to keep achieving. Try it for yourself.
  • Taking action creates a positive feedback loop. When you get work done, it leads to doing more work. When you sit down and avoid the work, you end up sitting down all day.

Action leads to action. The first push is the hardest, but once something gains momentum, it takes more energy to stop it.

You’re only distracted if you planned to do something else. If you fail to plan your learning, it becomes much easier for you brain to rationalise having a break.

On the other hand, if you know you should be studying right now, you will feel cognitive discomfort. There’s no rationalising your inaction.

This is why scheduling your work is so effective. It makes it much more painful to avoid our work. This pushes us to end up just getting it done.

Once you have created your deep learning habit, you will soon find that it begins to work for you.

Before long, you find yourself experiencing an uncomfortable itch that can only be scratched by completing your scheduled deep learning. This is the power of habit. At first, it is hard to begin, but later on, it’s hard not to.

Before this can happen, you need to create a habit. The most important step of creating any habit is consistency.

Deep Learning

Card 1

Key Idea

“You can do anything you want, but not everything.” -David Allen

Card 2

Click to view

Key Idea

Begin with your deep learning. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.

Card 3

Click to view

Key Idea

Every time you procrastinate, it becomes a little harder to begin. Knowing this can help you resist that initial impulse. Often the outcome of your day depends on resisting your first urge to procrastinate.

Card 4

Click to view

Key Idea

You don’t need to rely on willpower. Instead, remove the distractions surrounding your learning.

Card 5

Click to view

Key Idea

As you rewire your brain, it will soon begins to crave the positive habit you are trying to create. Stick with the process. Be consistent.
