我必须学习这些高收入技能（如果我想赚钱）

How I Remember Everything I Learn
我如何记住我学到的一切

If you’re anything like me, you love studying deep concepts.But, there’s a dissonance.
如果你像我一样，你喜欢研究深奥的概念，但有一个误区。

You feel like you could never be as deep, insightful, or impactful as your favorite authors, speakers, or even the people you follow on social media.

你觉得自己永远不可能像你最喜欢的作家、演讲者，甚至你在社交媒体上关注的人那样深刻、有洞察力或有影响力。

When 18 year old，I took a chance on reading The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

18岁时，我阅读埃克哈特·托利 (Eckhart Tolle) 的《当下的力量》(The Power of Now)。

I practiced the meditations.
我练习冥想。

那本书改变了我的一切。 这减轻了我对未知的恐惧。它帮助我冷静下来，对那些我不同意的人不那么反应。

I didn’t remember everything from that book, but I learned 10x more than any other book I was told to read in school.
我没有记住这本书的所有内容，但我学到的东西比我在学校被要求阅读的任何其他书都多10倍。

Why did I remember so much of that book?

为什么我对那本书记得那么多？

1) Having An Intention 第1001章有意图

I am big on goal setting, whether you write it down or not.
我很喜欢设定目标，不管你是否把它写下来。

When I read the book, it was the perfect fit for my situation in life.
当我读这本书时，它非常适合我的生活状况。

I was at one of the lowest points in my life. 
我正处于人生的最低谷。

So, when The Power Of Now was recommended to me, I had the intent to apply its teachings to the phase of life I was in.
所以，当《当下的力量》被推荐给我时，我有意将它的教导应用到我所处的生活阶段。

I was willing to do anything – and read with a radically open mind – to allow the teachings to transform my mental state.

我愿意做任何事情——并以完全开放的心态阅读——允许它教导我如何改变我的精神状态。

2) Genuine Curiosity 真正的好奇心

I first heard about the book from socialmedia,I had a genuine curiosity to learn what this whole “spirituality” thing was about.
我第一次听说这本书是从社交媒体那里，我真的很想知道这整个“灵性”到底是什么。

Curiosity forced me to read slow, meticulous, and aim to understand what was being said – especially in the areas that were difficult to understand.

好奇心迫使我缓慢、细致地阅读，并致力于理解所讲的内容——尤其是在难以理解的领域。

3) Reducing The Execution Gap 缩小执行差距

Now, when I read the book, if there was something to practice, I would put the book down immediately.
现在，当我读这本书的时候，如果有什么需要练习的，我会立即把书放下。

I remember sitting outside on the porch with my coffee, trying to tap into all of my 5 senses, and doing multiple meditative practices.
我记得我坐在外面的门廊上，喝着咖啡，试图调整我的感官去做着冥想练习。

Since the ideas were fresh in my head, it was easier to notice when something as intangible as meditation was working.
因为这些想法在我的脑海里是新鲜的，所以当冥想这样无形的东西起作用时，我更容易注意到。

Becoming aware that it was working solidified the idea in my head.
意识到它正在起作用，我脑子里的想法就更坚定了。

I had direct experience to back the idea.
我有直接的经验来支持这个想法。

I took the words and grounded them in reality.

我接受了这些话并将其扎根于现实。

Having an intention, genuine curiosity, and reducing the execution gap is an incredible way to retain more of what you study – but we can do better than that.

拥有想要的东西、真正的好奇心并减少执行差距，是保留更多学习内容的好方法 - 但我们可以做得更好。

Over the years, here’s what I’ve discovered to 10X the power of whatever I choose to read, research, or study.
这些年来，我发现的东西比我选择阅读、研究或学习的任何东西都有10倍的力量。

What Are You Building?
你在建造什么？

Praxis (noun) — practice, as distinguished from theory.
实践（名词）-实践，区别于理论。

The modern problem is abundance of information.
现代的问题是信息的丰富。

We love to horde theory, orthodoxy, and conceptual understanding of things without direct experience. Because that means we have to do something we perceive as uncomfortable, when we’ve been conditioned into perceived comfort.
我们喜欢在没有直接经验的情况下对事物进行理论、正统和概念性的理解。因为这意味着我们必须做一些我们认为不舒服的事情，当我们已经习惯于感知舒适的时候。

Life doesn’t work that way, and nobody wants to be “that” guy in the Instagram comments. You know, the one that gives a book’s worth of lifting (or business) advice while looking like he’s never been within a 10-foot radius of a barbell (or customer).

生活不是这样的，没有人想成为 社交媒体中的“那些光鲜亮丽的”人。 你知道，他提供了一本书般的举重（或商业）建议，同时看起来他从来没有在杠铃（或顾客）的 10 英尺半径范围内出现过。

What you’ll find in most domains is that true experts rarely need guidance. They used science, theory, and advice to get to the intermediate stage, but learn that intuition and direct experience trump all once you get into the advanced stage.
在大多数领域，你会发现真正的专家很少需要指导。他们利用科学、理论和建议进入中级阶段，但一旦进入高级阶段，他们就会知道直觉和直接经验胜过一切。

Aside from posting, I don’t log on to social media anymore. I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but 99.99% of the advice doesn’t apply to me. All it does is make me second guess myself in my mental, physical, financial, and spiritual training. My praxis, which is backed by my personal philosophy, that was forged through experience.

除了发帖，我不再登录社交媒体。 我无意显得傲慢，但 99.99% 的建议并不适用于我。 它所做的只是让我重新审视自己的精神、身体、财务和精神训练。 我的实践得到了我个人哲学的支持，是通过经验形成的。

So, how do we balance practice with theory?
那么，我们如何平衡实践与理论？

By becoming a builder. 成为一名构建者。

That is, always having a project to build in alignment with the theory you are learning about.
也就是说，总是有一个项目来建立与你正在学习的理论相一致。

When I was learning Photoshop, I started by watching endless tutorials on how to use the software. This only led to getting stuck in tutorial hell.
当我学习 PS 时，我是从看无数关于如何使用该软件的教程开始的，这只会导致陷入教程的地狱。

When it came time to create something, I knew nothing.

当需要实际上手创造一些东西时，我一无所知。

I had to supplement what I was building with specific tutorials.
我不得不用具体的教程来补充我正在构建的东西。

Once I realized how much I retained from this style of learning — having a project to apply my knowledge to — I switched to this method exclusively.
一旦我意识到我从这种学习方式中保留了多少东西--有一个项目可以应用我的知识--我就完全改用这种方法。

If I wanted to learn how to build a website, I wouldn’t start learning first. I would pick a software to build the website on, then watch a long tutorial on how to build the website.
如果我想学习如何建立一个网站，我不会先开始学习。我会选择一个软件来建立网站，然后看一个关于如何建立网站的长教程。

I wouldn’t follow the tutorial exactly, because I didn’t want to create the same thing. I took what I was learning and struggled to create my own website. 
我不会完全遵循教程，因为我不想创建相同的东西。我把我学到的东西，努力创建自己的网站。

Now, why does this method work for retaining information?
那么，为什么这种方法可以保留信息呢？

1) Forced Synchronicity 强制同步

Novelty, pattern recognition, and the dopamine involved in both are crucial for learning.
新奇、模式识别以及与之相关的多巴胺对学习至关重要。

When our ancestors noticed something new, they would remember it, especially when it aligned with their survival.
当我们的祖先注意到新事物时，他们会记住它，特别是当它与他们的生存有关时。

Like if they pass by a bare bush they had seen many times, meaning it was nothing new, it didn’t serve their survival. But when it grew new berries, they noticed that it was new, and remembered that it had berries because it may help at some point in their life.

就像如果他们经过一处他们见过很多次的光秃秃的灌木丛，这意味着它不是什么新鲜事，它不利于他们的生存。 但当它长出新的浆果时，他们注意到它是新的，并记住它有浆果，因为它可能在他们生命中的某个时刻有所帮助。

When you start with a project to build, your mind expands to notice things that will aid in that project’s survival.
当你开始构建一个项目时，你的思维会扩展到注意那些有助于项目生存的事情。

Like how The Power Of Now was relevant to my situation in life. The lessons registered in my awareness. The dopamine from that novel discovery gave me the excitement to implement immediately.

就像《当下的力量》与我的生活状况息息相关一样。 这些教训记录在我的意识中。 这一新发现所产生的多巴胺让我兴奋不已，立即付诸实践。

If you don’t pay attention, you don’t see.
如果你不注意，你就看不见。

Having a project to focus your attention allows you to see what you normally wouldn’t.
有一个项目来集中你的注意力可以让你看到你通常不会看到的东西。

This isn’t just a learning hack, it is a quality-of-life hack, which we will enhance 10-fold in the next section.
这不仅仅是一个学习技巧，这是一个生活质量的技巧，我们将在下一节中增强10倍。

2) The Law Of Inspired Action 灵感行动法则

I only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes at nine every morning. — William Faulkner
我只在灵感迸发时写作。幸运的是，它每天早上九点罢工。- 威廉·福克纳

Everyone knows that they act better on inspiration.
每个人都知道他们在灵感上表现得更好。

People love to watch “best chest workout” videos before training chest at the gym.
人们喜欢在健身房训练胸部之前观看“最佳胸部锻炼”视频。

I love reading the authors that inspire me before I sit down to write.
我喜欢在我坐下来写作之前阅读那些激励我的作者。

With a project, you are enticed to learn in accordance with it.
有了一个项目，你会被吸引去按照它学习。

If you are building a business, you will naturally gravitate toward the information that gives you inspiration for building said business.

如果您正在创办一家企业，您自然会倾向于那些为您提供创业灵感的信息。

But you have to start building the damn business.
但你得开始做生意了。

3) Specific Knowledge 具体知识

Start, then learn. 开始，然后学习。

When you start, even when you don’t know what you’re doing, you will encounter problems.
当你开始时，即使你不知道你在做什么，你也会遇到问题。

These problems will induce struggle and prime your mind to learn.
这些问题会引发斗争，并激发你的思想去学习。

These problems will also give you something specific to research.
这些问题也会给你给予一些具体的研究。

You won’t be learning blindly, without context, or from somebody who isn’t teaching you how to do exactly what you want to do. When you learn blindly, you gain too much information fat. Like when you do a dirty bulk vs a lean bulk when trying to gain muscle… eventually you’ll feel slow, tired, and groggy to the point of cutting the fat.

你不会盲目地学习，没有背景，或者从一个不教你如何做你想做的事情的人那里学习。当你盲目学习时，你会获得太多的信息。就像当你做一个Dirty Bulk与Lean Bulk时，试图增肌，最终你会感到缓慢、疲倦和昏昏沉沉，直到减掉脂肪。

Don’t ask questions. Don’t learn blindly. Start building something, then ask or research to solve the specific problems that pop up.

别问问题。不要盲目学习。开始构建一些东西，然后询问或研究以解决出现的具体问题。

Then repeat for a decade.
然后重复十年。

You Are The Project — Tying It All Together
你就是一个项目-把它和你绑定在一起

Let’s take it up a notch.
让我们把它提高一个档次。

Building helps you retain more knowledge.
学习可以帮助你保留更多的知识。

But teaching helps you retain even more. Teaching is another modality that locks in the experience you gain from building.
但教学帮助你记住更多。教学是另一种形式，它锁定了你从建筑中获得的经验。

So, why not combine the two so that we create a life of serendipity, synchronicity, and good dopamine?
那么，为什么不将两者联合收割机结合起来，这样我们就能创造出一种充满意外、同步和良好多巴胺的生活呢？

We do this by turning you into the project.
我们通过让您参与项目来实现这一点。

This implies holistic development.
这意味着全面发展。

Personal development doesn’t only come from improving yourself, it comes from the impact you make on the world.
个人发展不仅来自于提高自己，还来自于你对世界的影响。

In other words, your business.
换句话说，你的生意。

Or for those that “resonate” with the term business, exchange that it for your life’s work, your calling, or how you plan to leave the world better than you left it.
或者对于那些与商业术语“共鸣”的人，用它来交换你一生的工作，你的召唤，或者你计划如何离开这个世界比你离开它更好。

The polarity of selfishness and selflessness.
自私和无私的两极。

Improving yourself, then helping others improve. Sending the elevator back down. Climbing the mountain and leaving a trail behind you that others can follow.
改善自己，然后帮助别人改善。把电梯送下去。爬上高山，在身后留下一条别人可以跟随的小径。

Documenting your journey so others can evolve faster.
记录您的旅程，以便其他人可以更快地发展。

Doing your part to raise the collective consciousness.
做你的一部分，以提高集体意识。

That’s what “business” is, yet many mistake it for some mega-corporation that sucks the life out of well… your life.
这就是“商业”，但许多人误以为它是一些大型公司，吸取了你的生活。

I’ve done this (and helped thousands of others) turn themselves into a business so they can study their interests, pass down their findings, and have a creative income leaning into their nature as a builder and teacher.
我已经这样做了（并帮助了成千上万的人）把自己变成一个企业，这样他们就可以研究他们的兴趣，传递他们的发现，并有一个创造性的收入倾向于他们作为一个建设者和教师的性质。

So, let’s tie everything we’ve learned into 6 steps:
所以，让我们把我们学到的一切都归结为六个步骤：

1) Set An Intention 第一千一百一十一章定下意图

Set a goal. Create a purpose. Think about your why. However you want to frame it.
设定目标。创造一个目标。想想你的原因。你想怎么装帧都行。

Make an intention to improve your life, to actualize your potential.
下决心改善你的生活，实现你的潜力。

This sets your focus on the future while encouraging you to channel energy toward that vision. The energy you channel comes from your daily actions.
这将你的注意力集中在未来，同时鼓励你将精力投入到这个愿景中。你的能量来源于你的日常行为。

Everything you consume starts to fuel your vision.
你所消费的一切都开始为你的视力提供燃料。

2) Schedule A Creativity Block 安排一个创意块

Everyone and their mother knows that they should schedule time for focused work, but what fuels that focused work?
每个人和他们的母亲都知道他们应该安排时间专注于工作，但是是什么推动了专注的工作呢？

If you are a creative, are you hunting for ideas in your free time? Or are you “creating” on an empty tank?
如果你是一个有创造力的人，你会在空闲时间寻找想法吗？或者你是在一个空罐子上“创造”的？

Do you value the spontaneous nature of creativity, or are you a slave to regimented work and productivity apps?
你是重视创造力的自发性，还是你是一个受管制的工作和生产力应用程序的奴隶？

I’m not telling you to rid yourself of routine, efficiency, and productivity. I’m telling you that it’s only one piece of the puzzle.
我不是要你摆脱常规、效率和生产力。我告诉你这只是拼图的一部分。

Schedule a 30-minute walk every day.
每天安排30分钟的步行。

On this walk, you can:
在这次步行中，您可以：

• Listen to an audiobook or podcast related to your intention
  听一本与你的意图有关的有声读物或播客
• Contemplate your future and let your mind work through problems
  思考你的未来，让你的头脑解决问题
• Get yourself away from the distractions that would keep you in a non-creative state
  让自己远离那些会让你处于非创造性状态的干扰

​When you shift your focus from external to internal, the Default Mode Network (a psychology term) comes into play. This is when your mind starts munching on the information you’ve consumed to bring new discoveries to your conscious mind. (The opposite of living in a state of stress-induced narrow focus). ​
当你把注意力从外部转移到内部时，默认模式网络（心理学术语）就开始发挥作用了。这是你的大脑开始咀嚼你已经消耗的信息，为你的意识带来新的发现。 （与生活在压力引起的狭隘注意力状态相反）

默认模式网络是指人脑在无任务的静息状态下，仍持续进行着某些功能活动的脑区所构成的网络，与人脑对内外环境的监测、维持意识的觉醒、情绪的加工、自我内省、情景记忆的提取等功能密切相关。 默认模式网络涉及许多看似不同的功能：

• 它是自我的神经基础：

自传信息：收集有关一个人的事件和事实的记忆

自我指称：指自我的特质和描述

自我情感：反映自己的情感状态

• 他人认知：

心理理论：思考他人的思想以及他们可能知道或可能不知道的东西

他人的情感：了解他人的情感并同情他们的感受

道德推理：确定某项行动的公正和不公正结果

社会评价：关于社会观念的好坏态度判断

社会类别：反映重要的社会特征和群体地位

• 回顾过去，思考未来：

回忆过去：回顾过去发生的事件

想象未来：设想未来可能发生的事件

情景记忆：与特定事件相关的详细记忆

故事理解：理解并记住叙事

3) Create A Note Taking System 创建一个笔记系统

I could write an entire book on proper note-taking, so instead of writing it here, just download my free note-taking system (and 7-day challenge to use it most effectively).
我可以写一整本关于正确记笔记的书，所以不要在这里写，只要下载我的免费笔记系统（和7天的挑战，以最有效地使用它）。

What will you be writing down in your notes?
你们要在笔记上写些什么？

Any information, insight, or discovery that will fuel your efforts to build.
任何信息，见解或发现，这将推动你的努力建立。

When your mind is set on a goal for the future, your field of awareness expands. You begin to filter signal from noise, whether it feels like you are or not.
当你的思想设定在未来的目标上时，你的意识领域就会扩大。你开始从噪音中过滤信号，不管你感觉是否如此。

Like when you discover a car for the first time. You’ve never paid close attention to it, but you love the way it looks. Then, like magic, you start to notice that car everywhere.
就像你第一次发现一辆车。你从来没有密切关注过它，但你喜欢它的样子。然后，就像变魔术一样，你开始注意到到处都是那辆车。

My friend and editor Devan has hated the Jeep Gladiator since it came to market, now he’s cursed with seeing them 3 to 4 times a day.
我的朋友兼编辑Devan自从吉普角斗士上市以来就一直讨厌它，现在他每天都要看到3到4次。

Imagine if you loved the idea of improving your mind, body, and finances — you would start to spot opportunities every single day (that would normally slip right under your nose).
想象一下，如果你喜欢改善你的思想，身体和财务状况的想法-你会开始每天发现机会（通常会在你的鼻子底下溜走）。

4) Build Every Aspect Of Your Life 打造你生活的方方面面

You have to understand that you are building.
你必须明白你正在建造。

How long would it take to build a mansion by yourself?
你一个人盖一栋别墅要多久？

20 years? A lifetime?
20年？一辈子？

That’s exactly the point.
这就是重点

Fall in love with infinite games.
爱上无限游戏。

Try everything that interests you. Then double down on the thing that you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life. Yes, this takes time, experimentation, and 6-12 months of patience.
尝试所有你感兴趣的东西。然后在你能看到自己余生所做的事情上加倍努力。是的，这需要时间，实验和6-12个月的耐心。

If you don’t like the sound of that, sit down and think of what the other option is. I bet you won’t like the sound of that even more.
如果你不喜欢这个声音，坐下来想想其他的选择是什么。我敢打赌你不会更喜欢这个声音。

Snap yourself out of the instant gratification mindset. You must actively construct your life on a daily basis.
把自己从即时满足的心态中解放出来。你必须每天积极地构建你的生活。

Start with 30-60 minutes.
从30-60分钟开始。

What do you do during that time?
你在那段时间做什么？

Hit the gym. Write for the sake of digital leverage and income. Self-educate when you don’t have clarity on the problem you encountered while building.

去健身房健身。 为了数字杠杆和收入而写作。 当您不清楚构建过程中遇到的问题时，请进行自我教育。

如果你不去主动规划自己的人生，你的时间就会浪费去做别人的事情。

5) Teach What You Know 教你所知道的

As we discussed, building is an incredible way to retain specific knowledge in alignment with the life you are trying to build.

正如我们所讨论的，构建是一种令人难以置信的方式，可以保留特定的知识，使其与您想要的生活保持一致。

To retain even more of what you learn, let me introduce you to the Protégé Effect.
为了更好地记住你所学到的东西，你可以了解一下“门徒效应”。

门徒效应（Protégé effect）是一种心理学现象，指教授、假装教授或准备教授他人信息有助于一个人学习该信息。简而言之，就是“通过教学来学习”。例如，一个正在为考试而学习的学生可以从学生效应中受益，并通过将材料教授给同龄人来提高他们对材料的理解。

When you pair genuine curiosity with building a project, then teaching what you’ve learned, you increase your level of articulation more than any other method.
当你将真正的好奇心与建立一个项目结合起来，然后教授你所学到的东西时，你比任何其他方法都更能提高你的表达水平。

Clearly, my favorite way to encapsulate all of these is by stepping into the digital arena.

显然，我非常认可把精力放到互联网和数字媒体领域。

Employers are hiring based on your public resume (social media account). You can teach what you learn to build digital leverage in the form of an audience. And when you’re ready, you can create a product or service to turn your interests into income.

用户根据您的公开简历（社交媒体帐户）进行发现你， 您可以教授您所学到的知识，以受众的形式建立数字影响力。 当您准备好时，您可以创建产品或服务将您的兴趣转化为收入。

When you teach about your passions, you tap into a new level of serendipity in everyday life.
当你讲述你的激情时，你在日常生活中进入了一个新的水平。

6) Turn It Into Your Life’s Work 把它变成你一生的工作

The amount of serendipity that will occur in your life, your Luck Surface Area, is directly proportional to the degree to which you do something you’re passionate about combined with the total number of people to who this is effectively communicated. — Jason Roberts
在你的生活中会发生的意外之喜的数量，你的幸运表面积，与你做你热衷的事情的程度以及有效沟通的人的总数成正比。- 杰森·罗伯茨

Work is a necessary part of life, and for most, it consumes a large percentage of their waking hours.
工作是生活中必不可少的一部分，对大多数人来说，它占据了他们清醒时间的很大一部分。

For many, this work lacks interest. They took the conventional path that was laid out for them and live in a state of slightly elevated stress (which is terrible for your creative problem-solving).
对许多人来说，这份工作缺乏吸引力。他们选择了为他们设计的传统道路，生活在压力稍高的状态之下（这对于你创造性地解决问题来说是可怕的）。

Is this what you want?
这就是你想要的吗

If the duality of work and rest is to be maintained — meaning “retirement” is a dream where you will still work on something — do you want 70% of your life to be consumed doing something you hate, or even slightly dislike?
如果要保持工作和休息的二元性--这意味着“退休”是一个梦想，你仍然会在某件事上工作--你是否希望你的生命中有 70% 的时间花在做你讨厌的事情上，甚至有点不喜欢的事情上？

No? Here’s what I would do.
没有吗？我会这么做

• Research what you feel pulled to research.
  研究你觉得需要研究的东西。
• Don’t get distracted. Let it pull you deep into a rabbit hole of discovery.
  别分心让它把你深深地拉进一个发现的兔子洞。
• Understand that sustained curiosity + excitement = passion
  理解持续的好奇心+兴奋=激情
• Practice sustaining that passion with everything we’ve talked about here.
  用我们在这里讨论的一切来练习保持这种激情。
• Note down your findings, build a project, and begin teaching others.
  记下你的发现，建立一个项目，然后开始教别人。

​ I’ve talked about productizing yourself via the one person business multiple times as well as becoming a value creator. ​
我已经多次谈到通过一个人的业务来提高自己的产品价值，以及成为一个价值创造者。

What many don’t realize is that products start off as projects.
许多人没有意识到的是，产品是从项目开始的。

If you ARE the project, when you put yourself in public, you become a product that people will want to invest in.
如果你是项目，当你把自己放在公众面前时，你就变成了人们想要投资的产品。

Projectize yourself, then productize yourself.
先规划自己，然后将你自己产品化。

Now, understand that you don’t launch a product when it’s perfect, that’s an impossible goal.
现在，你要明白，你不会在完美的时候推出一个产品，这是一个不可能的目标。

Entrepreneurs launch MVPs. Minimum Viable Products. A project that provides value enough to charge for, launch, and continue improving it with time.
推出MVP(最小可行产品)，一个项目，提供足够的价值，以收取，启动，并继续改善它与时间。

You are your life’s work.
你就是你一生的工作。

Your minimum viable product was created at birth.
你的最小可行产品是在出生时创造的。

Launch, build, teach. 发布，建造，教学。

From Dan Koe
