Best practices to get the most out of learning time 💊

The capacity to learn is a gift
The ability to learn is a skill
The willingness to learn is a choice

—  Brian Herbert

In the tech lead role, the learning format also changes compared to the developer stage. 

Change the content to learn (code and best practices, frameworks vs. leadership, soft skills), change the time you can dedicate to it (with StackOverflow or pair programming, learning is an inherent part of the task, now not so much), change the format in which you can find the content (StackOverflow vs. books ).

What does not change: Conscious learning!!!

• Conscious: What does what I am reading learning can help me?  How useful is it, or will it be?  How am I going to apply it?

Learning to learn is not just “acquiring information.” It is mastering the correct way to put into practice skills and abilities that allow selecting, organizing, and correctly interpreting information.

In this pill 24 💊, I’ll share with you some of the best practices to learn how to learn and strengthen the learning curve within your tech leadership career.

Besides knowing these practices, I will tell you about the method I created to take smart notes and structure the content in such a way you can get real value from your ideas. — The same method I used to categorize the content I consumed during the last 9 years to create Lidr Academy.
