(2) Keep a "To-Learn" List
We all have to-do lists. These are
the tasks we need to accomplish. Try to also have a "to-learn" list.
On it you can write ideas for new areas of study. Maybe you would like to take
up a new language, learn a skill or read the collective works of Shakespeare.
Whatever motivates you, write it down.
(3) Get More Intellectual Friends
Start spending more time with people
who think. Not just people who are smart, but people who actually invest much
of their time in learning new skills. Their habits will rub off on you. Even
better, they will probably share some of their knowledge with you.
(4) Guided Thinking
Albert Einstein once said, "Any
man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits
of thinking." Simply studying the wisdom of others isn't enough; you have
to think through ideas yourself. Spend time journaling, meditating or
contemplating over ideas you have learned.
(5) Put it Into Practice
Skill based learning is useless if
it isn't applied. Reading a book on C++ isn't the same thing as writing a
program. Studying painting isn't the same as picking up a brush. If your
knowledge can be applied, put it into practice.
