• Self-learners are able to proactively create their own personal development curriculum, set their own goals, and determine their own syllabus for improvement—whether that’s personally or professionally.

• You need to be clear on your goals, figure out what skills are most urgently needing development, then allow the SMART acronym to help you create a roadmap for the future. Goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, meaningful, and time limited.

• Make a list of resources and be clear about your learning style and where you can access learning materials. Then, create a schedule with realistic deadlines and benchmarks to keep you on track. Roping in others can help keep you accountable. Finally, make sure you are spending some time reflecting on your process, making honest adjustments as you go.

• Deep work is focused, productive work and is a rare skill in our world of distraction. Focusing without distraction allows us to be more deeply creative and solve problems at a higher level. Deep work takes commitment and discipline. Try to clearly define what deep work looks like for you, how to fit it in, its ratio to shallow work, and how to implement it via consistent ritual and habit.

• Deep work needs to be planned for, scheduled, and protected from encroachment. Measure it and adjust accordingly. Understand the amount of deep work you’re aiming for and let nothing interfere with or interrupt it.

• Your unique deep-work philosophy will depend on your personality as well as the nature of the task. Whether your approach is monastic, bimodal, rhythmic, or journalistic, take the time to figure out how best to bring more deep work into your own life and commit to it.

• The behavioral activation theory approaches the problem on the behavioral level, telling us we need to act to feel better instead of waiting until we feel better to act. Monitor your routine, get in touch with your values and goals, then schedule activities that make you feel good, adjust and reappraising as you go.

• Personal knowledge management (PKM) is a set of processes that a person uses in their daily activities to collect, categorize, store, search for, retrieve, and share knowledge.

• Creating a "capture habit" is the first step in personal knowledge management, which is important for lifelong learning and freedom. A capture habit involves quickly saving any helpful or inspiring information or ideas that are come across. This can be done by setting up Google Alerts, subscribing to RSS feeds, following social media accounts, etc.

• Once information is gathered, it needs to be properly labeled and organized using a system that makes sense for the task at hand. This will make it easier to find later on when needed. The goal is to make your life easier by understanding and implementing the techniques learned from gathering this information.

• The Zettelkasten method is a notetaking system developed by German sociologist Niklas Luhmann that helps you capture ideas and connect them with one another. It has three essential elements: slips of paper, a filing system, and a mind map. The slips of paper are used to record ideas, thoughts, and information, which are then sorted into different categories and filed accordingly.

• The mind map is used to visualize the relationships between different ideas. In order to make connections between concepts, you can use special strategies like bridge notes or progressive summarization. Bridge notes can be used to connect ideas, index notes to organize ideas, and topic notes to group relevant information or notes together.

• To think like a scientist, a person needs intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation comes from our own valuation of what’s important and meaningful, and a personal sense of satisfaction that comes with defining our own means and ends.

• Be honest and realistic with yourself about what genuinely inspires and motivates you. Evaluate your motivations and goals, reconnect to your passion in life, and consider the greater good you’d like to serve.

• Get into the habit of asking questions, and get comfortable with not knowing. Create your own “curiosity engine” by keeping a journal with your twelve favorite problems written in it. Always seek their solutions in everyday life. With a list of problems/questions, you give yourself a tool with which to face new challenges, and you bring your stress down and your feeling of control and mastery up. You increase your chances of making important connections and solving problems.

• Don’t be afraid to relax into the unintuitive, unconscious, or unexpected ways that new ideas and insights might arrive. Stay curious about what seems strange, unusual, or unexplained.

• To keep himself actively involved in the learning process and to improve his comprehension, Feynman kept a master notebook in which he listed the topics he lacked knowledge about. This kept him organized and focused.

• The most important part of Feynman’s notebook method is to explain the material to yourself as though you were teaching it to another student similar to you. Your ideal notebook will depend on the function you want it to serve.

• Many mental health problems come down to a lack of awareness of our own thoughts, feelings, and core beliefs. Being your own therapist requires the willingness to be honest, ask questions, and courageously take action according to the insights you glean.

• In CBT, we understand that not all thoughts are for our benefit, and that thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected. What has been learned can be unlearned, and we can take automatic, negative, unhelpful, and unconscious thoughts and deliberately transform them into conscious, helpful ones that allow us to live the kind of lives we want to live.
