In this episode, we dive into Part 2 of my learning framework, focusing on step #4, #5 and a special "bonus step". If you haven't listened to the previous episode, I highly recommend going back to catch up on the steps we've covered so far.

Step #4 is all about identifying a real-life challenge that requires mastering the new skill you're after. The more it's connected to the outside world, the better. Think about a work scenario or a personal challenge, and then list down different scenarios or issues that need solving. Choose one and focus on it, knowing that as you solve it, other problems will become easier to tackle.

Now, I want to share a couple of disclaimers: (1) If you need to continue learning and broadening your knowledge, simply select the next issue from your list, and (2) Remember, you can always modify your list as you go – nothing is set in stone!

In the episode, I share my personal experience with learning about warehousing and how I applied this learning framework to become proficient in the topic. We also dive into step #5, which is all about planning and scheduling. This step includes creating a process map and setting a consistent schedule for learning.

As a bonus, I offer step #6, which is all about staying accountable and keeping yourself on track. I share five valuable tips, such as tracking your progress, setting external expectations, checking your "True North," celebrating your achievements, and recognizing the "painful sweet spot" in learning.
