One “must” for this week
"How to keep learning at work, even when you feel fried" by Nihar Chhaya.
We all know that continuous learning is the key to having lasting influence and control over our careers, yet sometimes, our workload makes it hard to find the time.
Nihar proposes five strategies to deal with that:
focus on urgent topics that solve problems
connect emotionally with our learning pursuits
challenge our beliefs about your learning capacity
explore informal learning avenues beyond formal programs
align our learning methods with how our brain retains information
And the first step is always letting go of the fixed belief that we can’t “learn to fly the plane while it was already flying.”
