Jim Kwik Limitless: Upgrade your brain, learn anything faster, and unlock your exceptional life.  

·        Mindset (The WHAT); Motivation (THE WHY)

·        Methods (THE HOW)

o   Focus – “If you can’t concentrate you can’t manifest” It is something you can learn!

§  It isn’t your mind that is moving, it is your awareness (distraction, multitasking, clutter)

§  Instead: Breath, Do something that has been causing you stress, schedule time for distraction 

o   Study – 4 Levels of Competence (Unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence (practice makes progress)

§  Habits: employ active recall, employ spaced repetition, manage the stated you’re in, use your sense of smell (rosemary, peppermint, lemon), Music for the mind (Baroque – Handel, Bach), Listen with your whole brain, Intentional note-taking/use own words **Capture & Create (capture notes and create your impressions)     

o   Memory – “serves as the foundation for every action you take now and… in the future”

§  Motivation to remember. Rote memorization takes too long and is inefficient. 

§  Visualization; Associations; Emotion; Location (create stories out of the information you need to remember, crazier the better)

§  LOCI Method: pick 10 places in your room and walk through it in your mind with info

o   Speed Reading – average 150-200 words/minute. Reading efficiency: speed and understanding. 

§  Speed reading is a skill and practice. Faster reading forces you to focus more. Read without the voice in your head saying the words. Use your finger (25-100% rate increase). Try counting while reading to drown out reading voice in head. 

o   Thinking – Different types of intelligence (Dr. Howard Gardner, Harvard)

§  Spatial (pilots); Bodily-Kinesthetic (gymnast); Musical (Mozart); Linguistic (writers); Logical-Mathematical (Einstein); Interpersonal (therapists); Intrapersonal (Gandhi); Naturalistic (zoologists)

§  Learning Styles: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic

§  Decision-making 40/70 Rule (Colin Powell). Don’t make a decision with less than 40% or more than 70% of the info.

§  EXPONETIAL THINKING – looking for the root cause of issue and thinking in a different box. “Creating a billion-dollar company is simply a matter of solving a $10-billion dollar problem.”
