Resumen

TLDRThe video emphasizes mastering any skill using a straightforward approach known as the "Ted method." The key to becoming an expert involves the belief in oneself combined with "delusional confidence." The Ted method consists of three steps: Trial, Error, and Document. 1. **Trial**: Focus on absorbing quality information from sources like online platforms, books, and courses. Take actionable notes similar to cheat sheets to retain important points. 2. **Error**: Immediately implement what you've learned to identify areas for improvement and to better understand the practical application of the skill. 3. **Document**: Write down the mistakes encountered during the error phase to refine your learning process further. The process encourages regular cycling through these steps with the aim of continuous improvement, making it applicable for virtually any skill.

  • 00:00:22
    that you need to understand in order to
  • 00:00:24

    example let's say you're trying to get
  • 00:00:35
    good at talking with strangers even if
  • 00:00:37
    you've read every book watched all the

    with random people you'll still be a
  • 00:00:44
    nervous when you actually
  • 00:00:46
    try talking to people you need two
  • 00:00:48
    things one a belief in yourself in
  • 00:00:50
    learning this new skill and two absolute
  • 00:00:53
    delusional confidence I've already made
  • 00:00:55
    a whole video on confidence but honestly
  • 00:00:57
    in acquiring new skills just fake it
  • 00:00:59
    till you make as long as you can
  • 00:01:00
    genuinely convince yourself that you're
  • 00:01:02
    good at it you'll have the right mindset
  • 00:01:03
    going forward sure other people might
  • 00:01:05
    think you're a bit duded but after a
  • 00:01:07
    long enough period of time you'll
  • 00:01:09
    actually be pretty good at it and
  • 00:01:10
    boom just like that you're not
  • 00:01:12
    delusional anymore so how do you
  • 00:01:14
    actually learn well this part is
  • 00:01:16
    also pretty simple just start that's
  • 00:01:19
    right just dive into whatever you're
  • 00:01:20
    trying to learn but where should I go to
  • 00:01:22
    learn well there are three main sources
  • 00:01:24
    that can get you 99% of the way there
  • 00:01:26
    one the site you're on right now two
  • 00:01:28
    books and three online courses and no I
  • 00:01:31
    don't have one to sell you but books and
  • 00:01:33
    courses are really expensive well if you
  • 00:01:36
    tripped and spilled water on your phone
  • 00:01:38
    and somehow end it up on one of these
  • 00:01:40
    two sites you might accidentally find
  • 00:01:42
    the book you're looking for and the
  • 00:01:44
    overpriced course that you've been
  • 00:01:45
    wanting to buy and oh no the full book
  • 00:01:47
    ended up downloading for free in the
  • 00:01:49
    $2,000 course only cost $20 so yeah
  • 00:01:53
    education is basically free now that you
  • 00:01:55
    have all of the knowledge that's ever
  • 00:01:57
    existed for free we still have to learn
  • 00:01:59
    how to actually become an expert say
  • 00:02:01
    hello to Ted Ted stands for trial error
  • 00:02:05
    document trial is the period of sitting
  • 00:02:07
    in your house absorbing information from
  • 00:02:09
    the three sources I mentioned during
  • 00:02:11
    this process we want to focus 100% on
  • 00:02:14
    the quality of learning rather than how
  • 00:02:16
    much info you can cram in one session
  • 00:02:18
    you're not studying for an exam you're
  • 00:02:20
    probably learning this skill for
  • 00:02:21
    yourself so take this seriously be sure
  • 00:02:23
    that you're taking good notes that are
  • 00:02:25
    actionable and easy for you to
  • 00:02:27
    understand in reference later the notes
  • 00:02:29
    that you take should look a little bit
  • 00:02:30
    like a cheat sheet or chapter summary
  • 00:02:32
    similar to the ones that you used to
  • 00:02:33
    make for school one of my personal
  • 00:02:35
    tricks is taking non-fiction books like
  • 00:02:37
    How to Win Friends and Influence People
  • 00:02:39
    and turning them into reference books by
  • 00:02:41
    marking the pages with highlights notes
  • 00:02:43
    and colored page markers this allows me
  • 00:02:45
    to pick up any book on any topic from my
  • 00:02:47
    library and quickly find the info that
  • 00:02:49
    I'm looking for I only have to read the
  • 00:02:51
    book once and then I have the cheat
  • 00:02:52
    sheet summary for Life Next the e in Ted
  • 00:02:55
    stands for error this is the process of
  • 00:02:58
    taking what you learned and immediately
  • 00:02:59
    implementing it that very same day
  • 00:03:01
    watched a few YouTube videos on how to
  • 00:03:03
    dunk now go to the court and try it
  • 00:03:05
    yourself right after readit s's book on
  • 00:03:07
    cold calling immediately pick up the
  • 00:03:09
    phone and start dialing the point of
  • 00:03:11
    this is jumping right into the new skill
  • 00:03:13
    when you've learned a little bit but you
  • 00:03:15
    still kind of suck or maybe you're
  • 00:03:17
    incredible there's only one way to find
  • 00:03:18
    out by doing this you'll find out where
  • 00:03:21
    exactly you're lacking and what you can
  • 00:03:22
    work on next time you go to learn let's
  • 00:03:24
    say you're trying to learn German your
  • 00:03:26
    error phase would be going out and
  • 00:03:28
    trying to have a conversation with
  • 00:03:29
    someone in German because you're new
  • 00:03:31
    you'll get to a point where you can no
  • 00:03:32
    longer understand what they're saying or
  • 00:03:34
    what to respond with bang there's the
  • 00:03:36
    point where you can pick back up once
  • 00:03:37
    you go back to the learning phase
  • 00:03:39
    finally the D in Ted stands for document
  • 00:03:42
    this is basically just writing down
  • 00:03:44
    where you up during your error
  • 00:03:45
    phase this allows you to go back when
  • 00:03:47
    you're learning and study your exact
  • 00:03:49
    pain points and after that simply just
  • 00:03:51
    repeat if you're serious about actually
  • 00:03:53
    learning this new skill you should be
  • 00:03:55
    cycling through the entire Ted method
  • 00:03:57
    every day start the day learning go out
  • 00:03:59
    in the real world and try out the new
  • 00:04:00
    skills you've learned then when you
  • 00:04:02
    inevitably up write that down for the
  • 00:04:04
    next learning cycle and yes this does
  • 00:04:06
    work for literally any skill subject or
  • 00:04:09
    whatever in the comments please
  • 00:04:10
    challenge me and try naming something
  • 00:04:12
    that the Ted method won't work for I
  • 00:04:14
    personally can't think of anything the
  • 00:04:16
    trick is just going back and forth
  • 00:04:18
    between learning and implementing and
  • 00:04:20
    trying to improve something small each
  • 00:04:22
    time just keep improving until you're
  • 00:04:24
    happy with your expertise level and it's
  • 00:04:26
    also absolutely mandatory that you
  • 00:04:28
    implement what you learned Within 24
  • 00:04:30
    hours so many people read all these
  • 00:04:32
    books that never do sh with the things
  • 00:04:33
    they've learned don't be one of those
  • 00:04:35
    people Implement within 24 hours or just
  • 00:04:38
    consider that info to be evaporated Into
  • 00:04:40
    The Ether and that's pretty much it now
  • 00:04:42
    go out find your next skill to learn and
  • 00:04:44
    Implement that today
