When I was in my 20s, I would learn something about everything. Now at 30 I can learn everything about something.

I think the easiest way to learn new things are two simple steps:

1. Always be reading. 2. Teach yourself how to learn

There’s many great books on the latter topic. Once you get the basics and understand the different modes of your brain and the importance of rest, anything is possible.

Barbara Oakley published a couple earlier this year or last year. She covers it all in my opinion. There’s also one called “Make it stick” which is okay.
