Comment on Ask HN: Do you have a process or a framework to learn specific skills quickly?

Comments

- prediction. Write down what you already know of the topic. sentence of a mind map. Dump it all out. Look at that and w rite some predictions or questions that interest you about gaps.

- deepis dive. Watch through videos, go down the wikihole, read many abstracts. Whatever, just lightly wash lots of information over yourself.

- read the thing: choose a limited number of key points per section you will remember as you go. Write a progressive summary, or map it out. Write quiz questions for yourself as you go.

- then: apply it. Compare what you learned with your predictions. Review your quiz questions and summary periodically.

That was a method I tried a few times.. it was a lot of overhead, but had its merits in terms of trying to work with the brain.
