What is Learn Faster and Get More Done?

Evidence-based ways to learn a skill in less time and plan a week that works, with short routines you can start today. You learn new skills in less time and manage your week so it works. You build a personal system, test it for seven days and keep what works for you.

Open the Learn Faster and Get More Done course page

Adults who want to learn a new skill with less wasted study time and run a week that works. No background is needed. This is skills training, not medical or mental-health advice.

These are the prerequisites the course lists:

• None. You need one skill you want to learn and some time each week to practise it.

These are the tools and materials the course lists:

• Paper and a pen, or a notes app you already use
• A timer. A phone, a kitchen timer or a free web timer all work
• A calendar, on paper or on screen
• Index cards, or a free card app. Anki is one example. Its desktop version is free, but some mobile versions cost money, so check its current features and pricing. Paper cards cost almost nothing
• A spreadsheet is optional. Free ones exist. Nothing in the core lessons requires a paid subscription

Your Personal Weekly System, Run for 7 Days. Assemble one page that holds your learning target, your review system, your week plan and your rules. Run it for seven days with a daily log. Then review the week honestly: retest yourself, compare plan with actual, decide what to keep, change or drop, and pick one change for next week. The finished deliverables are:

• Target Sheet with three can-do statements, a 10-minute self-test, and a dated baseline score with a gaps list
• Question Bank of about 20 cards and a review system (boxes or an app) with a limit on new cards and a first review date
• One-page system: outcomes, week plan under about 70 percent of your free hours with if-then cues and a buffer, focus rules, interruption scripts, a resume note and a floor for bad days
• Seven-day log with a row for each day, including misses
• Weekly review: retest score, plan versus actual, keep, change and drop list, one change for next week, and a note on what you can and cannot conclude

Learn Faster and Get More Done has 24 lessons in 6 modules, a workbook of 10 items and a capstone project. It is planned at about 3 hours in total. The lesson text runs to roughly 15,200 words.

Learn Faster and Get More Done has 6 modules:

• Module 1: Start Here: How Learning Sticks and What to Aim At. See why feeling ready is a poor guide, choose one skill, write a test you can run yourself, take a starting score, and drop the study habits that research does not support.
• Module 2: Active Recall: Pull It Out, Do Not Read It Again. Learn the blank-page method, turn your material into good questions, check and correct your answers, and explain ideas in your own words.
• Module 3: Space It Out and Mix It Up. Spread your practice across days, choose a sensible gap, run a simple review system, and mix problem types when your skill has several.
• Module 4: Notes, Practice and Focus. Take notes you can turn into questions, practise a skill with feedback, learn what switching between tasks costs, and set up a focus block you can repeat.
• Module 5: Plan Your Week. Measure where your time goes, choose three outcomes, build a week plan that leaves room for real life, and batch small tasks so they stop breaking up your focus.
• Module 6: Protect It, Run It, Review It. Handle interruptions without losing your place, assemble your one-page system, run it for seven days, and review the week to decide what to keep, change or drop.
