1. You’re supposed to be feel overwhelmed

you’re supposed to be overwhelmed. it means you’re learning. it means you’re expanding. it means you’re finally left your bubble of comfort. the worse thing you can do is go back and hide from situation that make life meaningful. give you mind time to adjust.

1. Reality metabolism - the cause of mental obesity

you feel overwhelmed because you can’t digest reality fast enough. you can’t deal with the overwhelmed because it consumes your attention. all you can focus on are the negative thoughts flooding your mind how it won’t work, how you will fail, and how you could be doing something better with your time.

when the flow of information is maximized in your life through the balance of consumption and creation, you will encounter meaningful events. you will deep sense of excitement for the future, fulfillment in the present, and gratitude for the past.

1. Universal thinking - the solution to most of your problem

zoom out. adopt the perspective of your ideal self. break out of the narrow focus that traps you in a chaotic loop of negative thoughts. understand where you are, choose where you want to be, and bridge the gap with education & execution.

1) Your current perspective: take inventory of your current situation.

2) The perspective of your ideal self: what would the highest version of yourself do?

3) The perspective of the universe: beyond all limits, most of our worries are irrational and meaningless from the highest perspective.

1. How to learn any skill 10x faster

if you want to learn faster, don’t start learning.

- outlie a project
- start building it out
- learn along the way

too many people get trapped in tutorial hell, stacking up useless knowledge as brain fog.

Start > encounter a problem > seek specific knowledge to overcome it.

1) CERATE A CLARITY CATALYST

a project has:

- an outline so you can note ideas to fill in that outline from everyday life.
- milestones so you have direction and clarity on your next steps.
- a real-world deadlines that focus you to act, or else your survival a hit.
- experimentation, trail, and error so you can turn failures into lessons.

2) LEARN AS YOU VUILD

if you aren’t actively applying what you learn to a problem sitting in your mind, you are simply stacking useless knowledge as soon-to-be-forgotten brain fog.

purchase a beginner-level course in the topic. then watch overview videos on youtube that teach the fundamentals. study them until you have clarity on what to do next.

then do it, and when you encounter a problem:

- refer back to sections of the course or video
- research how to solve that problem directly
- watch tutorials where people build projects similar to yours and see how they overcome those problems

learning is problem-solving, not hoarding as much knowledge as you can.

3) TEACH WHAT YOU LEARN

the protege effect: a psychological phenomenon where teaching, or preparing to teach information to others helps a person learn that information. when you teach, you pay closer attention when you learn and identify knowledge gaps that help you learn faster.

- write in public and let people criticize you.
- teach your friend to make for interesting conversations.
- take notes on the subject but rite then as if you were teaching yourself.

don’t fabricate your experience. don’t lie about what you know. teach from the lens you learned it.

4) EXPND INTO A NEW LEVEL OF MIND

Read to expand your mind.

Write to organize your mind.

Build to focus your mind.

- Launch yourself into the unknown - immerse yourself in the culture, environment, and information related to what you are trying to learn.
- Condition your mind through repetition and exposure - slowly understand the lingo, vocabulary, and skill set to those who have seen success in that topic.
- Let your mind expand through the discomfort - the worst thing you can do id quit when you are felling growing pains.
- Read books - books give you 10 years of effort from 6 hours of reading.
- Consume lecture - long articles and videos give you 3 days of effort in 20 minutes.
- Follow new people - this is about consuming short-form content and more about training your mind to be in that tribe of people.

5) MAKE CONNECTIONS TO SOLIDIFY INDESTANDING

- Zoom out one layer - move from “photoshop” to “graphic design” to “creative work”.
- Take note to signal - when your mind signals important information, write it down.
- Build better projects - from a new level of mind, build a new project that will take you to the success you want to see.

This dude is living the dream and teaching others how to do it. Crazy buena shit

[silvestrihair]

I honestly feel like I’m finding my people here on YouTube

[lulabloom]

I recently discovered your channel here and I have so much gratitude for the information you share...thank you Dan.
I shutttered my retail shop after Christmas and mentally spiralled for longer than I imagined. Everything is uncomfortable as I search for a greater reality. I accept, and am motivated by the idea that with discipline, self-education and action, I will overcome the problems presenting and re-create my life better than ever. Thank you.

Pursuing my bachelor's in Computer Science right now. Had not been in school for ten years. After living more, and making a ton of mistakes. Staying in a growth mindset, and choosing to try every day. I am feeling this in every sort of way right now, and I appreciate the strong messages that work on us in a constructive way. Appreciate you Dan!

[viennastgeorge]

OMG! Thank you for this in this moment!!! 💜 Been designing and creating my website over the past month . . . I am not a website designer, but MUST do this! . . . It has been an Herculean feat! Lots of stress management, breathwork, learning, brain stretching, and cursing like a truck driver!🤣 Getting through it with super focus on each piece, and trying not to go into overwhelm looking at the whole. Taking a brain break now, and saw this video posted seven seconds ago. Watching. 💗💕🙏💕💗

I love this set up, simple black background and shirt, and clear audio, and it helps me to listen and focus on your video. Thank You!!

The concept of 'Learn As You Build' is a game-changer for skill acquisition. To add to that, entrepreneurs should leverage the 'feedback loop' process—implement what you learn immediately, measure the results, and iterate quickly. This approach not only solidifies your new skills but also accelerates your progress by learning from real-world applications.

this is perfect on so many levels.

we only appreciate the quiet in the noise, the stillness in the rush. everything you said is hitting the nail right on the head. things will slow, only if you allow them. and it's what you make out of a stressful situation that determines the outcome.

your content inspires me to create and think, critically, each and every day.

The pressure increases when we are trying to escape from the Matrix. Its ok, don't stop, have faith and courage and move forward.😎😎😎

Everytime i listen to dan i get the "brain signals" that this is important to understand and memorize, truly a good teacher and a better writer

[alibinnaseer]

Hi,
I am a 17 year old from Pakistan. You don't know how much stressed and confused I was before I watched this. Sometimes other people telling you the same thing can do much better than you telling yourself the same thing. You really have helped me. May Allah bless you! 💓💓

Under Pressure - Queen is my favorite song of all time. It resonated with the world because we, at the end of the day, are all under pressure. As the last lyric goes, "This is ourselves...under pressure."

In life, we are constantly discovering, unlayering, and unraveling who we are as people. We truly discover who we are when we are UNDER PRESSURE.

2:33 When I first started playing piano, it was so difficult to use my right hand (for the bass notes) and sync it with my left hand (melody).

As a guitar player, I was not used to using my right hand's fingers in such a way. The "AHA" moment came after 5-6 hours of practice. I had dedicated 1 hour a day for practice. Therefore, by day 6 I was a changed man.

Zoom out your perspective to see problems/worries as small and insignificant. Adopt a higher, more inclusive perspective.

Consider your current perspective, ideal self perspective, and universe perspective to properly focus and align your actions.

Connect ideas by zooming out layers to see relationships between topics at different levels of abstraction.

Note important signals from your mind and build better projects from a new level of understanding.

Emulate successful projects or tutorials to start building experience through trial and error.

Set milestones like goals for the week, month, year to keep progressing towards your vision.

Establish real-world deadlines that force you to act or risk consequences to your goals.

Focus on fundamentals when starting new builds, not fancy tactics, and learn through active application of concepts.

Continually experiment and turn failures into lessons to improve over time through practical experience.

Hey, I've been wrestling with web development for a while, feeling like I'm stuck in tutorial hell. It's been overwhelming, and I've been tempted to go back to my old BPO job. But then, I stumbled upon your video, and it really resonated with me. It's my first time watching your content, and I'm already subscribed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Blows my mind, the day I realize the meaning I want to have in this universe, happens to be the same day I run into this gem of a video. And it being exactly the same mission I have and the goals I wish to accomplish. To show everyone how empowered a person can become. I've been at this my whole life. And everything is coming together lately because I have chosen to go back and re-educate myself in things involving my skills progression in hopes to find more than I would ever realize, had I not. I too wish to write a book in hopes my expression will make a big impact. I'm grateful for you and catching this video ty much and the best of luck to u! The very things that have gotten me here further are the things I never cared for in life but for reason's I guess never could see past, or there being hidden importance resulting in building blocks to the next chapters of my life and works skill's. It's crazy to know I've already bumped into another person who has this idea and with accomplishment. That's what's up
