Think of an ability that would change the course of your life.
Something that would let you create work you are proud of, speak with greater command, earn more, or take on a challenge that is beyond you today.
Now imagine developing it with the same care that an elite athlete gives to preparing for competition. You would consider your physical condition, your attention, what you practise, how you recover and what happens when you finally have to perform.
That is the approach I want us to bring to learning.
In Thursday’s newsletter, I explored how our physical, mental and spiritual capacities belong together. I promised to bring that into practice: how to prepare your mind, train a specific ability and make the learning stay with you.
Today we will do that. We will look at the actual quantities and schedules used with lion’s mane, Semax, and other supplements; how near-infrared light is being applied, and how to bring that preparation into a learning session.
Start with something you recently studied. Put the material aside and explain what you learned aloud, or try the task without following the instructions.
Where do you get stuck? What can you recognise when it is in front of you, but cannot yet explain or do on your own?
Keep that first attempt. By the end of this newsletter, you will have a way to improve it, a schedule for returning to it, and a way to test whether you can use what you have learned.
Paid subscribers also have a complete visual guide, a preparation reference, and a practice schedule.
