I recently delved into the black hole of Twitter.
Mostly I am less than thrilled with social media these days. I don’t spend very much time on any of it.
Twitter offers a whole new spectrum of really smart people that teach very succinctly.
I follow David Perell because he teaches writing. I am also subscribed to his weekly newsletter. (Speaking of which, are you on mine? I send it out every Tuesday. You can sign up in the black box at the top).
His Monday musing newsletter had a recipe for learning anything.
Watch One. Do One. Teach One.
First you observe how other people do the work. Then you do the work yourself. And finally you show someone else how to do what you just did.
Apparently this idea comes from surgical training, but I think its a great way to really understand any subject. This is partly why I write this blog, because I enjoy sharing and teaching what I have been learning, it benefits both you, and me.
And there are 100 other reasons.
