Yeah, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. There’s so much to learn. Just look at all that training available in here. It’s a lot. In fact it’s normal to feel overwhelmed.
Just out of curiosity, how is your handwriting? Can you read it?
Are your notes organized? Is it categories? Can you see what you learned?
But even more important, can you see the pockets of missing information? Those areas where you still need learn more?
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE KEYBOARD – THEY SAY – BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE?
Here is something really interesting.
Pam Mueller from Princeton University and Daniel Oppenheimer’s did study comparing student taking note handwriting and laptops
They found that students hand writing notes learned more, understood more and a week later even remembered more.
| But I am not convinced it’s as simple as that. |

LEARNING TO TAKE BETTER NOTES – BECOMING OBSESSIVE ABOUT IT
All the struggles most of you are going through right now I’ve been through. I’ve been through more battles than you can imagine.
And just so you clearly understand this lesson I’ve learned. “There will be no end to learning”. There will always be more to learn. So the best thing you can do for yourself is learn how to learn, fasters, and better.
I take notes by both handwriting and keyboard. Those of you who know me well know that I am obsessed about taking notes. I’ve told you more than once “Take notes. You can’t rely on your memory.” You’ll forget more than you learn.
But here is the big twist to that study above.
Your notes have to be well organized. Extremely well organized. Just like a book. And you have to be able to keep filling in all those pockets of missing information, as you learn.
And yet that is still not enough. Anytime you come up with a question you need to write it down, in the right section. Otherwise by the time you do find the answer you’ll forget your question. Again, you can’t rely on your memory.
Then when you do find the answer, fill it in, replacing your question. This is how to learn fast.
BUT THERE’S STILL MORE …
As a bonus what you end up with is your own “Vault of Knowledge”. A complete and through “Book of Knowledge”.
A product, your product, to share or sell. Chapter by chapter, if that is what you want to do.
NICHE DON’T MATTER
People will be banging on your doors. As long as you Market Your Knowledge well. They’ll be begging you for more. Calling you an Amazing Genius. I guarantee this.
So once again, let me ask you one last time, “How’s your handwriting?”
