Jim Kwik's FAST framework for learning.

FAST is an acronym that stands for F for Forget, A for Active, S for State, and T for Teach.

Forget: There are three things you need to forget:

1. What you know of the subject you're trying to learn. Forget your preconceived notions of the subject and be a clean slate to start imprinting this new knowledge.

2. Your Personal Situation. The time you're using for learning should be exclusive for only that purpose. You should've taken care of urgent or important matters at a different time than this.

3. Your Limitations. You have to start with an open mind with the desired outcome in mind from the beginning. Watch your self talk, make sure you don't sabotage yourself speaking weakening words that will hinder your learning.

Active: Do not only "consume", stop reading too many books on a specific subject, become active, start co-creating while you're learning. One example of this is to take notes, but not typical verbatim word-for-word notes. Your notes should be an outcome of your own conclusions about what's being taught.

State: Watch how you feel while trying to learn something. Keep in mind that if the Information (what you are trying to learn) combined with Emotion = Long Term Memory. Jim says "Change your physiology to change your psychology."

How do we do this? Exercise, prioritize sleep, clean up your diet.

Teach: Learn with the idea to teach what you've learned to somebody else from the beginning. When you teach something, you get to learn it twice.

This is the FAST framework, Forget what you know, your worries, your limitations, Actively learn by co-creating while you're learning, be in an optimal emotional State, if you're feeling low, do a few jumping jacks and get to work, and finally Teach what you've learned.

I hope you find it useful, I know it's worked for me many times.
