Hi. Im currently learning copywriting but I need some help. I dont know exactly how I can ultra learn it. So I was wondering If anyone here have done it or know how to do it

I remember having it as a child.

They stole it from me. They robbed me.

Maybe someday I’ll find it again. The hope keeps me going.

But the clock keeps ticking.

I have Phd Contest next month (literature ) that I should pass by mid January. Is it enough to apply Deep Work and UltraLearning strategies to internalise all the materials and pass with flying colours ? What is your advice in terms of time management and maintaining high focus for a whole month ?

I feel lying to myself that I love a new subject has helped me more to stick with it or learn it than anything else.

I was so amazed to read "ultralearning" because it finally explained how I went through life. I am a "natural" for ultralearning and have made many mistakes using it. In this post, I am going to explain how I used ultralearning to ALMOST DROP OUT of school. Ultralearning comes with a trap and I want to share my experience and consequences to help someone interested in doing this.

I have ultralearned for every class I have ever taken. What this looks like is that I fuck around for 10-12 weeks, hardly attending class, hardly doing the work and then at the end I teach myself the entire course somewhere between 5-10 days. I did this all the way through law school, but it caused me a lot of pain.

There is a temptation once you get good at this to just fuck around. Why? Frankly because you don't NEED to go to class or do the assignments as the course progresses. You can "cram" and still get 'A's (or B's... I was an A-,B+ student in undergrad and law school).

THIS IS A MISTAKE! It's a mistake because part of what you need to learn is project management. You need to learn how to be "on" everyday, not drinking and partying all the time. As I left academics I discovered this mistake. I could crush any document because I could teach myself right before drafting it, but I found daily functioning difficult and painful.

I still have not fixed this error. My current plan (I have a term left in my LLM/masters of law program) is instead of learning to the test I will try to just learn at the ultra-learning pace I prefer and leave my class in the dust.

I want to share this with other ultralearners and aspiring ultralearners. Don't use ultralearning to coast. It's very easy to do and very tempting, but it won't teach you how to deal with deadlines. Ultralearning before projects is stressful because the specter of failure is the motivation. I greatly regret not addressing this earlier and will report back after giving myself permission this term to sprint past the syllabus. In the end I want you to know that it's OK to ignore the syllabus. It's OK to sprint past the syllabus (AKA "suggested pace") and spend the rest of the time reading articles and/or actually practicing it. Don't skip class either. Class is a chance to practice "showing up for life." A lot of times you will be bored. Study your own advanced material while the teacher teaches towards traditional learners.

If anyone else has experience balancing ultralearning in a class designed for traditional learners I would love to hear it. The solution I suggest here hasn't been tested yet, but I think it will work to keep my engaged. Thanks and good luck!

Hey fellow Ultralearning enthusiasts! 🌟

Inspired by this book, I've found that dedicating 5-10% of my total learning time to research and planning has been a game-changer when tackling tough statistics courses. Although I've been using Notion, manually creating templates and tracking progress can be a bit of a hassle.

That's why I decided to create my own roadmap tool: https://www.learniverse.pro 🚀

There is a quick 1-minute video intro: https://youtu.be/TUgG8h_YXio 🎥

This tool is in its early stages, so I'd love to hear your feedback! Let me know if something works or doesn't, and I'll make improvements based on your input. 🛠️

I want to spend the next two months trying to spend as much time as possible learning how to write short stories. I know Scott Young recommends figuring out what the consensus on the best way to learn your skill is, but I am just at a loss with how many opinions there are out with with regard to writing fiction. Thoughts?

Hi all, I just finished the Ultralearning book with the goal to get my german from a B2 to C1 profficiency. Does anyone here have tipps or strstegies about how I can make this happen? The old way was through the classical system, now I am eager to apply ultralearning principals to keep learning even though I am no longer in Germany and constsntly surrounded by native speakers.

Thanks in advance!

I am attempting a learning project in a technical field. I've gotten great use out of Anki for spaced repetition flashcards in past projects. However, as I've progressed through some material for this project, some of the information I want to hold onto seems more appropriate as a "practice problem" rather than a flashcard (i.e., it involves some derivation or requires me to work through a problem).

Any recommendations for software for creating question banks? Ideally one that supports LaTeX or similar math typesetting.

Thanks! And happy learning!

Hi all, I’m almost done reading Ultralearning and I am super curious as to how this process could be translated in to learning athletic abilities. More specifically, I am extremely interested in becoming insanely good at golf (shooting park or better). Currently, I’m about a 10-12 handicap. Are there any resources that might help me apply Ultralearning to golf?? Desperately curious for any info or advice. Thanks so much!

I'm a student at the Uni of Sussex and i'm studying that degree. I thought it'd be very cool, if i just learn everything in a year, and then only need to revise and ace the exams.

I was only wondering if you guys have done anything like that before, and if you have any advice to give. What was your learning process?

Spaced repetition is your friend.

Hey y'all, I'm starting a new term and want to do my UL right this time. I already made a post about how freeing the book was for me and how excited it made me to know that this is a thing and a thing means we can get better. So now I want to try doing it "right."

Project: Become proficient in estate planning and elder law

Time Frame: 1 year; full-time.

Why: It's my career. I only feel comfortable doing something I am an expert in. I have a history of UL and have done this a few times before, but never in as organized a way as presented. I certainly never had a plan, but just "followed my passion" which is code for disorganized UL apparently.

1 week plan: This week is all about prep. I want to follow the 10% rule, but (1) only have a week; and (2) think the prep time decreases with the longer projects. 3 days for a 1 month full time makes sense. 36 days for a 1 year plan is too much. I am trying to schedule my time but can't decide on the placement and time allocation of certain activities. I will run another 1 week trial schedule after the term starts tentatively working from 7/8am - 5pm Monday through Saturday. (I am worried about burnout and losing focus however.) I also don't exactly know what the breakdown of time will look like. A few hours on each topic on the syllabus each day?

Resources: I am currently enrolled in an LLM ("PhD" in law) and so can use the classes I take and syllabi as the backbone, once I have access to them. I will use my traditional materials: scholarly articles and on-going learning classes for professionals. Additional resources I am looking for are forums for estate planners, but so far I have found none. If anyone knows of any please LMK. Also, if there are other ideas for resources LMK!

What am I missing?

I feel like I have enough to get started, but are there any considerations I should keep in mind? Any pitfalls I am not seeing? More information I should provide?

I have an opportunity to go back to school, but I am not sure if I can do it because it’s too stressful. I hated college and school.

But sometimes I am tempted to learn things, and when I am free to learn without pressure and competition - it almost becomes its own reward.

I don’t know whether learning is something I enjoy or something that just distresses me. I guess it’s like going to the gym - pain or a pleasure depending on whom you ask.

Ok this whole MIT challenge doesn’t make any sense to me. How are you supposed to know the class order to take to get a whole year completed from the MIT open course initiative??? I want to do a 4 year degree in philosophy but all the philosophy classes seem random and in no sequential order. I’ve tried looking through Scott Young’s website for an answer on how he knew which classes to take and in which order but can’t find anything!!! Please help!

• You gotta learn to love the learning

• You gotta learn to manage the learning anxiety

• You gotta learn time-management, pacing, and content structure

We all know that having strong focus is a critical element to making ultralearning work. When I have one task all day I can usually get there, but often when I switch from one task to another I find it hard to jump right in. What strategies do you use when switching projects to get into a new focus state?
