Become a More Productive Learner

Matt Plummer wrote an article for the Harvard Business Review (6-5-18) that has great resonance at this time of year when we reflect on learning.

The trend is to have much more learning from online workshops and courses making more information accessible to more people at all times.  Scary? He claims that we are "consuming more but not learning more."

His advice:

1. Focus the majority of your information on a single topic for several months.
2. Put what you're learning into frameworks.
3. Regularly synthesize what you have learned.
4. Cycle between information feasting and information fasting.
