- Don't make an effort to retain what you've learned (a story for every nugget of wisdom, the feynman method, spacing etc...) - Don't identify root causes Okay...forgive the scatteredness of this tweet-whatever. I didn't prewrite it.

So, now let's try to flip this on it's head and come up with some rules/tactics to learn: 1. Avoid drugs and alcohol 2. When you're trying to learn something avoid distractions i.e. music with words 3. You cannot just play, you have to practice.

[What is practice in life though? I know what practice is in basketball, in chess, in talking to women, in public speaking, but what is practice in learning? In life? Help me out here]

4. Reflect on your mistakes. What are some errors that you have made in the past and why did you make them? Why did you not realize that you were making an error at the time and how could you have?

5. Find people who are better than you are at what you want to learn! In this particular instance, it would be much appreciated if such a person would appear and tell me how to learn. That'd make this easier. 6. Find books on the subject!

[But how do you find the right books? Suppose I wanted to learn finance. There are so many books out there that would teach me the wrong things! Books by operators with skin in the game? Usually their just self/business-marketing. Ugh!]

With books you can have an ecosystem approach. Find 8 people you trust on it and read their recommendations 80% of the time (assuming half of rhe books recommendable) and pick however else you want 20% of the time so you can recommend too. Obviously the numbers are tweakable.

What are some good books I ought to read? Have you read? - Poor Charlie's Almanack - Art of the Deal - Irrational Exuberance - Misbehavior of Markets - High Output Management
