Learning to Learn

What counts as interesting?

When's the last time you learned something useful? Something that really shifted your knowledge and made a difference.

How about the last time you found something "interesting" online—or several "interesting" things online?

Every day, you make this choice on your time:

• Sink it in a black hole
• Invest in yourself

Sadly, it's easy to sink it in a black hole of interestingness.

In today's world, the ability to learn quickly, extract information and create meaning is a competitive advantage. Because...

Ironically, even though there's more information than ever, it's easier than ever to get stuck in black holes.

Think of it this way:

You can either spend 60 mins a day getting sucked into the the world of needless interestingness OR invest the same amount of time in yourself, growing your knowledge, re-mixing knowledge and creating substance in the world.
