Jim Kwik breaks learning into daily habits: set clear goals, use 5-10 minute microlearning sessions during breaks, stack learning onto existing routines like morning time or exercise, and do a weekly hour-long review to consolidate what you've learned.
Prioritize learning with clearly defined goals. Focus on areas that directly enhance your skills or address gaps. Maybe there are market trends, communication, maybe you need to understand client psychology. And then set learning milestones. It's always easier to break goals into manageable chunks like completing one book or one podcast series per month. Leverage microlearning. These are short, bursts of learning. You could consume bite-sized content, maybe 5 to 10 minute videos or part of a podcast. And you could do this during breaks. You could do this during your commutes. You could also find some apps for microlearning. You need to build learning into your daily routine. Your morning learning could be dedicating the first 15 to 30 minutes of your day to reading or learning. I also suggest you stack habits. You could pair learning with existing habits. Such as listening to podcasts while you're exercising. You could also do a weekly review, set aside an hour each week for deeper learning.
