I have five months in Berlin before the end of the year. I am currently unemployed but I am comfortable financially. This situation will last until the end of the year, uncomfortably. I don’t like inactivity, and I don’t like living without an income. There are easy ways to fix the later, and interesting ways to fix the former.
I bought Ultralearning by Scott Young today. At first skim it’s an amalgamation of the verified learning techniques right now. His principles incorporate a lot of Tim Ferris, Naval, Benny the Irish Polygot and even Adam Grant. If you are familiar with their research you don’t need to buy the book. If you aren’t, it’s a great jump off for learning the best learning techniques out there. It’s a meta learning resource.
Based on his principles, I’ll create and finish two ultralearning projects over the next five months and see if it works. Will keep you guys updated.
