    Learn Faster, Achieve More: The 80/20 Learner By Peter Hollins

    The 80-20 Learner: Shortcuts to Fluency, Knowledge, Skills, and Mastery (Learning how to Learn Book 24) By: Peter Hollins Hear it Here - https://adbl.co/3NGOSXs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJRMVCZM Feeling overwhelmed by information overload? You're not alone! In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get bogged down by the sheer volume of stuff we're expected to learn. But what if there was a better way? In his book, The 80/20 Learner, Peter Hollins reveals the secrets to mastering the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule. This powerful principle states that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. By applying this principle to your learning, you can achieve dramatic results in a fraction of the time. In this video, we'll break down the key takeaways from The 80/20 Learner, showing you how to: Identify the 20% of knowledge that will give you 80% of the results Develop a ruthless minimalist mindset for learning Eliminate wasted time and focus on what truly matters Learn and memorize anything faster with the 80/20 approach Apply the 80/20 principle to studying, reading, language learning, and more Whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone who wants to learn more effectively, The 80/20 Learner is a game-changer. Watch this video to discover the secrets to unlocking your full learning potential and achieving your goals faster than ever before! The link to the book: https://adbl.co/3NGOSXs "In summary, the Pareto principle, or 80/20 rule, highlights that a small percentage of inputs often contribute to the majority of outputs. We can leverage this in learning by focusing on the vital few – the most impactful methods, concepts, and strategies. This applies to studying, reading, language learning, and memory techniques. By identifying and prioritizing these key elements, you can significantly enhance your learning efficiency and achieve more with less effort. Remember to apply the 80/20 rule strategically, considering the unique context of each learning situation. For a deeper dive into the 80/20 Learner and how to master this powerful principle, I highly recommend picking up Peter Hollins' book. It's available on Amazon, and the audiobook is available on Amazon, iTunes, and Audible.

    Conquer Yourself: How Plato & Nietzsche Can Help You Build Self-Discipline

    Philosophies on Self-Discipline: Lessons from History’s Greatest Thinkers on How to Start, Endure, Finish, & Achieve (Live a Disciplined Life Book 7) By Peter Hollins Hear it Here - https://bit.ly/philosophieshollins https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H1BSFCV We all know the feeling: you set a goal, you're fired up, and then...BAM! You skip the gym, indulge in that extra slice of cake, and your grand plans go out the window. This frustrating phenomenon is called akrasia, and it's been puzzling philosophers for centuries. In this video, we'll explore akrasia through the lens of two great thinkers: Plato and Nietzsche. We'll see how Plato viewed akrasia as a misunderstanding of what's truly good for us, while Nietzsche saw it as a potential within us – the will to power – that can be channeled for good or bad. But fear not! We'll also delve into practical strategies to combat akrasia and develop rock-solid self-discipline. You'll learn how to: Use mini-rewards to make achieving goals feel good in the present moment. Set small, achievable goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Leverage the power of rituals and habits to make positive actions automatic. Focus your will to power on worthy goals and resist distractions. By understanding akrasia and using these powerful strategies, you'll be well on your way to achieving your goals and becoming the best version of yourself. This episode, titled "Philosophies On Self-Discipline," draws inspiration from the book of the same name by Peter Hollins, available for more exploration on his website at bitly.slashPeterHollins. Buckle up and get ready to discover how some of the brightest thinkers tackled the challenges of self-control and achieving your goals.
