Learning is good as it leads to better performance and other beneficial things. There are tools available that accelerate learning. Let’s use those.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I try to learn. Sometimes I forget to learn. Yes, fatigue clobbers my mind and I simply forget to notice things, store them, and use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are tools that help me to learn. These tools accelerate learning. Some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep 3×5 cards and a pencil in my shirt pocket at all times. See something; note it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear a charm bracelet. Each charm on the bracelet is a reminder of something that I might otherwise forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep cheat sheets in a notebook that is always with me. What was that four-key shortcut to do something important? It’s on the cheat sheet. What was that question that I should ask at the end of a meeting? It’s on the cheat sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear a great big set of notes on a sleeve. Hey, pro athletes who are paid $20 million a year wear them. Why can’t I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A shirt that has all the important reminders printed on it upside down. When I glance down at me odd shirt, I can read the reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put a picture of someone I respect on the wall of the conference room. That person is watching me while I’m in meetings. That person would tell me, “Dwayne, don’t forget to …”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The list can continue. The list is different for every person. Accelerate learning. We can do this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips Learning is good as it leads to better performance and other beneficial things.
