How to quickly develop new skills

Having found the right approach, one can almost always achieve more in the same time. This approach, in fact, a set of habits that you need to develop in yourself. With them, you quickly learn the information, it's better to process it and use it.

Make a list of the skills you want to learn
Sit down, take a sheet of paper and list all the skills that you would like to learn. Probably, those are typed 10-15.

Logically, you can not master everything at once. At best, you can begin to study 2-3 skills at the same time, for example, at work and at leisure.

So, the question is how to determine the priority skills. There are several important criteria:

The meaning of the skill: additional earnings, a hobby for the soul or self-development?

Demand and suggestion: if it is a matter of earnings, then it is important to understand what skills are in high demand. Hobbies, as a rule, do not bring income (although it all depends on you). So, what is more important now: money or a pleasant lesson?

Talent: do not waste your talent in vain. Determine what you have the ability, and what is not.

Your goals: perhaps you have already created a plan for the next five years and are confident that this is what you need. Is the skill consistent with the goals?

Current opportunities: can I learn a skill for free or with minimal investment? Perhaps, relatives, friends or friends can become your teacher?

Resources: skill requires time, money, and emotional energy. Be realistic and soberly assess whether you have enough of this.

Useful habits in training
These habits are aimed at saving time or improving understanding.

Go through the thirty-day trial

The popular blogger Steve Pavlina says that if you do anything for a month, it will become a habit. It does not matter what: to study a foreign language, to run in the morning or stop complaining. Set your goal to adhere to the plan for 30 days, without excuses.
