Summary of "How I Learn Things Really Fast (with AI)"

Key Wellness Strategies, Self-Care Techniques, and Productivity Tips for Learning Fast (with AI)

Five-Step Learning Framework (Jigsaw Puzzle Analogy)

Goal Setting Clearly define what you want to achieve (e.g., pass an exam, write an essay, build an app). Knowing the end result focuses your learning and saves time.
Research / Gathering Resources Find the right and complete resources to meet your goal. Use multiple sources such as courses, YouTube, social media, and workshops. This step is often neglected but critical for efficient learning.
Priming (Pre-learning) Skim through materials to get a rough overview of topics. Identify sections, titles, and main ideas without deep understanding. Taking quizzes or exams before learning helps orient your brain. Priming improves retention and learning speed by 10-20%.
Comprehension / Understanding Learn layer by layer: start with a broad overview, then deepen understanding gradually. Avoid getting stuck on details too early. Take minimal but focused notes on definitions, major concepts, and examples. Use preferred learning formats (audio, video, text) for better absorption.
Implementation Apply what you learned to your specific goal (e.g., write, build, calculate). Tailor the implementation to your personal context. This step reinforces learning and integrates knowledge.

How AI Accelerates Learning

Resource Gathering Use AI tools like Perplexity to find curated, relevant resources quickly. AI can tailor resource recommendations to your specific needs. Time saved: about 3 hours.
Priming Use Notebook LM to generate study guides and quizzes from raw materials. Helps prime your brain more effectively. Time saved: about 1 hour.
Understanding Content Convert materials into preferred formats (audio/video) using AI workflows. For example, transform textbooks into podcasts or videos to learn faster. Use AI chatbots (e.g., Chatabit) for interactive Q&A and deep dives. Extract only relevant sections from large resources using AI. Organize messy notes by having AI summarize, create tables, diagrams, or dashboards. Time saved: about 7-8 hours combined.
Implementation AI assists in outlining and writing reports (Notebook LM + ChatGPT). Generate interactive dashboards using AI tools like Claude. AI-assisted coding environments (e.g., Warp) help build applications faster. Use AI tools like Manis or Gamma to create slide decks. Time saved: about 6 hours depending on task complexity.
Overall Time Savings From a 30-hour learning process, AI combined with the framework can reduce time to about 10 hours, freeing up 20 hours for other activities.

Additional Productivity & Wellness Tips

Energy Management over Time Management Schedule study sessions when your energy is highest, not just when you have free time. Studying when tired leads to poor focus and wasted time. Example: Study before work if evenings are too draining.
Interleaving Learning Study multiple topics in one session or day rather than blocking one topic at a time. Mixing subjects improves retention and motivation. Example: Study Spanish, personal finance, and AI in the same day in smaller chunks.
