Meta Learning

Nikhil Goyal

Meta-Learning: META is where you'll learn to mimic the world's fastest learners.

Tim Ferriss
  • Deconstruction: What are the minimal learnable units, the LEGO blocks, I should be starting with?
  • Selection: Which 20% of the blocks should I focus on for 80% or more of the outcome I want?
  • Sequencing: In what order should I learn the blocks?
  • Stakes: How do I set up stakes to create real consequences and guarantee I follow the program?


Some of this is right but is it all? The concept of deconstruction vs. learning how to see the whole seems obvious to me.
