Learn to Be a Learning Ninja
The path to success is the continuous pursuit of knowledge.
Success is the product of accumulative advantage. When it comes to personal development, “sudden” results from a lot of “gradual.”
The following are techniques for becoming a learning ninja and ensuring success in life.
People with a growth mindset believe that they can develop their abilities through dedication and hard work. Dreams and potential are the starting point. In addition, a growth mindset perspective creates a love of learning and resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.
Ordinary folks want entertainment. Extraordinary people desire education and knowledge. Warren Buffet once said,
“The more you learn, the more you earn.”
Here are some proven techniques to become a learning ninja and guarantee success in your life.
Make Learning Obvious
Learning becomes more accessible and manageable when integrating learning into your environment and making the cues visible.
Create a plan and stack it with existing behaviors.
Be intentional about your learning.
You are more likely to continue if you have a specific plan for when and where to practice learning new skills.
Most of us fail to develop the skills we want due to a lack of clarity. Once you set an implementation intention, you don’t have to wait for inspiration to strike.
Use this simple sentence to apply this strategy:
I will [PRACTICE] at [TIME] in [LOCATION].
You can even go a step further with the Habit Stacking technique. Habit Stacking is attaching your desired learning time after something you already do each day.
After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].
Creating specific intentions and habit stacking are two of the most practical methods for developing cues for your habits and creating a clear plan for when and where to take action.
Redesign your environment to make it conducive for learning
