Ask questions
- Ask other humans questions especially if they have experience in the field/area you are learning about
- *Even if they don't have experience in the same area if they are an expert/have a lot of experience in ANY area you can ask them questions about how they do things which can help you in your area
- Ask search engine's questions through queries- "how to do x" filter through the results and pull out and read the best material
I'm always asking people questions- every time I encounter a person who is experienced in an area I know nothing/not much about I ask them questions about their workflow and how they do things-
Read a lot
- When I want to learn something new I search out the highest reviewed books in the area and buy/read them- even old books can be really helpful
- Find the best articles online on the subject and read them all
- *READ in depth sources, not just click-baity articles that don't go in depth- you want an IN DEPTH understanding not a bite sized click bait trivial understanding
Watch good presentations/tutorials made by people who are doing what you want to do
- There's a million youtube videos out there made by people who have no valid experience on the subjects they are discussing- AVOID THESE-
- *Example for game dev- GDC talk by game developer who made a game you like vs. Youtube persons tutorial who hasn't made any games
- *If you are not willing to watch a GOOD 45 minute video you don't have what it takes to learn
Focus on and BECOME the subject you are trying to learn
- Become obsessed and make the subject fill your thoughts
- You see the subject in everything
- You talk about the subject with everyone you know
- Become a human sponge for the subject
