7-STEP GUIDE TO LEARNING ANYTHING IN 48 HOURS

Below is a 7-step guide to learning almost anything in 48 hours. Applied with the techniques and tips from this book, it will create a structured process for you to follow and make sure you’re on track to achieving learning success.

1. Gather materials and resources to learn (Up to 3 hours)

You’ve made the choice to learn something. The first step then is to gather all the resources and materials you need to get started. If you were to learn a language, for example, the list of resources might include books, audio, websites and apps. It might also be helpful to find a native speaker with whom you can practice speaking the language.

2. Develop memorization strategy (Up to 2 hours)

Once you have gathered all you need, make a decision on the memory techniques you plan to use from this book. For example, if you’re wanting to memorize a lengthy list, such as past presidents of the Unites States of America, you would look at using the Method of Loci. If you’re wanting to acquire knowledge fast, you would look at developing a mind map of the content and using visualization methods such as SMASHIN SCOPE to create engaging associations in your mind with the knowledge. Reading this book will help with identifying the most relevant strategy. The more practise you get at identifying which memory techniques to use, the better you become at developing a memorization strategy.

3. Organize/priorities materials (Up to 1 hour)

With your strategy developed, the next step is to organize the materials and resources you have to fit inside your strategy. If your strategy was to memories all 1500 French phrases, then you will need to make sure you have your 1500 French phrases set out in a way that will make it easy for you to go through them one by one. One method of doing that is to enter or copy and paste each phrase into a spreadsheet so that it becomes easy to access.

4. Create accountability (Up to 1 hour)

It is important to share your learning task with a family member, friend, or anyone else that will hold you accountable. Accountability to others creates motivation to get you going so that you don’t let others down. We do tend to slack off if we are accountable to only ourselves.

5. Memorize (Up to 30 hours)

Once you have all of your materials and have developed your process for learning, it is time for action. It is best to start with short periods of memorization rather than long. The reason for this is that it is less strain on the brain, you will complete a set memorization period quickly, and as you get better you will increase your time. If you start with longer memorization periods then it will overwhelm you very quickly. Keep it short and simple.

6. Review (spaced repetition) (Up to 1 hour)

Once you have memorized you will need to go back and review your work. This helps to store your memorization in long-term memory. Depending on what you’re learning, of course, the rule for spaced repetition is to review an hour later, then a day later, then a week later, a month later, three months later, six months later and finally a year later.

7. Practice and apply (Up to 10 hours)

Once you have memorized and used techniques to achieve what you want, you will need to practice to give yourself feedback on your memorisation. This is the test of how much you have learned. If you have indeed memorized 1500 French phrases, go into an environment where French is spoken and have conversations. Are you able to speak it? What works? What doesn’t? Note all these down and figure out why these were the case. Learn from them and then go back and rememorize. Having the chance to practice what you have memorized is crucial to the learning process. Memorization only helps you to store the information, whereas learning helps you understand. Practice is the intersection where these two meet. So try to practice as much as you can and, before you know, you will learn anything you want to learn in record time.
