Unlearn What You Have Learned, Focus, & Find Balance
SUBSCRIBE
Key Takeaways
- The skill of unlearning old habits and proficiencies in order to replace them with new ones is a vital skill in this age of rapidly evolving technology.
- It is easier to “unlearn” by focusing entirely on the new habit you are trying to develop rather than attempting to translate the old into the new.
- You can train your brain to overcome moments of overwhelm and distraction using simple methods like focusing on breathing and dedicating 20-minute blocks to uninterrupted work.
- To achieve true success, a person must achieve a balance between wealth and well-being. Focusing entirely on one or the other can land a person in an untenable situation (either wealthy and unhappy, or well-adjusted but unable to support oneself financially).
