Got Lists? - The To-Learn List (Part I)

What’s on your To-Learn List?

Q) What’s on your “To-Learn” List?

No, I don’t mean your To-Do List, or even the Not-To-Do List.

I’ve managed to encounter an idea that I learned from Jim Kwik: The art of keeping a “To-Learn” List.

Q) What is a To-Learn List?

For those familiar with the loved-or-hated To-Do List, in which one would note down tasks in a list format, it’s the application of that same concept, just in the realm of learning.

It can be as basic or as detailed as you would like it to be.

Analog, with good ol’ fashioned pen(cil) and paper/notebook/napkin? ?

Digital, like Google Keep/Evernote/OneNote/Notion? ?

The important part here is this: Your desires for what you want to learn are out of your head and placed somewhere external and somewhere easily and routinely accessible FOR YOU.

Here’s an example of my To-Learn List:
