Working Up

Want to learn faster? Go to different places, go at different times, or go without any money. How will you survive? You will learn.

Want to learn faster?

Go someplace different.

The difference of surroundings helps me to notice so much more than when I am in my regular routine visiting all the same places.

There are a few problems with going someplace different. One is that travel costs money. Don’t have the money?

Go to the same places but at different times.

Shift your commute schedule so that you drive the same roads at a different time of day. Go to the same Internet coffee shop during a different work shift when different people are behind the counter and at the nearby tables.

Another suggestion to combat the “no money” reason is:

Go to the same places, but with no money.

This one is tough at first glance. Take neither money nor credit cards with you. How will you get in the door? How will you acquire items? What could you do in the same place without purchasing items? How friendly are the “friends” you have in these places?

The answers to these and a few hundred other questions bring a lot of learning.
