10 ways to organize post college learning
Staying curious and learning is a beneficial part of life.
1. Keep a list of things you want to learn
2. As this list grows see if you can find common elements
In order to get to goal D I need to learn A B and C.
3. Try to come up with “final exams” deliverables for courses/topics
How to build a bookshelf 101 (build the shelf), write a book about medieval dentistry or whatever you are into
4. Create deadlines for your projects
Projects without deadlines have a tendency to take forever
5. Spend time creating your personal syllabus
Include due dates and projects to complete
6. Have an accountability mechanism
Posting to NotePd is a good one for me: I have made daily posts a priority. It is tempting to skip. Do something in public every day.
7. Use a “second brain” system like obsidian or Notion
8. How can you gamify your results?
Give yourself rewards? Maintain streaks?
9. Publish your knowledge
Produce something for a trade fair, make YouTube videos or Substacks or books or NotePD lists.
10. Break your interests down so that you can finish a project in a calendar quarter or less
This project can be part of a bigger project, like a section in a book every quarter.
