The theory part is so true, but then watching this video itself is the theory part. People who never took actions won't get it

[ritiktyagi]

In computer science, we call this tutorial hell, where a person keeps consuming programming tutorials (Theory) without building any real-world app/program (Actions).

[seyproductions]

I think the Reflection part is really important. Many people know the 'don't use learn Theory' part, but then they just take action repeatedly without reflecting on the outcomes of their actions.

[christomming]

Hey, great work! 
I was once trapped in the theory phase for many years. I thought if i just would read enough books and study enough online courses I eventually would reach all my goals.
I'm glad I got out of this rabbit hole by myself - would've needed this video a few years ago. But great video anyway :-)

[ikermann]

I'm not one to comment on videos but I had to say that this a very well constructed, to the point- video. This is very important for anyone who is learning, to understand. So simple, yet so many books written about just this one topic. Good luck and keep making awesome content.

[regularvids]

thats actually so great advice. Today we have many free sources of theory and so many people including me stuck in theory rather than act. Thanks for that.

Valuable Content, Love both points and the best thing about the video is the Length. So much value in less time, just to the point.

Here are the key points from the script:

**General Framework for Continuous Learning**
- The general framework for continuous learning consists of three steps: Theory, Action, and Reflection.
- This process involves reading up on the theory and general concepts of the skill you want to learn, taking action, reflecting on that action and the feedback received, and then repeating the process.

**The Importance of Action Over Theory**
- In the early stages of learning a new skill, it's recommended to focus less on theory and more on action.
- Many people get stuck in the theory phase and never start taking action.
- Theory is potential knowledge, but it's wasted if not acted upon.
- You can't predict how you, with your unique physical and psychological traits, will respond when trying to implement certain theories. This knowledge is only unlocked through action.

**Adjusting the Action to Theory Ratio**
- People have different preferences for their action to theory ratio.
- It's hard to know your preference in the beginning, and it's probably better to focus more on action and reflection.
- As you progress, you can start to adjust your action to theory ratio.

**Speeding Up the Process of Continuous Learning**
- The two main ways to speed up the process of continuous learning are through hanging out with like-minded people and through coaching.
- Like-minded people can make the action phase more fun, improve the reflection phase by offering different perspectives, and help filter out bad theories.
- A good coach, who has already walked the path you're trying to walk, can push you in the action phase, make you reflect on the right things, and provide you with the necessary theory.

**Conclusion**
- Start taking action, don't get stuck in theory.
- Speed up the process by getting a coach or hanging out with like-minded people, or both.
- Repeat the process and you will master the skill of your choice.

Really great video, it is short, well explained and has good editing. Thanks for the work !

[willow]

Thank you so much, Ive been thinking alot about this topic for so long and you sum it up, explain and demonstrate the information in such a beautiful and comprehensive way! I love this style of yt videos, like IMBeggar. Wish you tons of subscribers and successes 🥰

[lorancortez]

This video reminds of the concept of: Start then Learn. Taking actions right away prevent you from procrastinating.

Bro this is really me. I have to increase my action-taking and reduce theory stuff. Thanks for highlighting that, been theorizing for years.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:00 🚀 *Reflect on your learning experiences to master the skill of learning and progression; this is crucial for mastering anything in life.*
00:27 🔄 *The general framework for continuous learning involves Theory, Action, and Reflection; read theory, take action, reflect on feedback, and repeat the process.*
00:40 📚 *In the initial phases, prioritize action over theory to avoid getting stuck; many waste years on theory without taking meaningful action.*
01:22 🔄 *Theory is potential knowledge, but action is essential to unlock knowledge specific to your unique traits; adjust your action-to-theory ratio over time.*
02:05 🤝 *Speed up continuous learning by hanging out with like-minded people; it makes the action phase more enjoyable, improves reflection, and enhances the theory phase.*
02:33 🧑‍🏫 *Consider getting a coach to accelerate your learning; a good coach provides guidance in the action phase, helps you reflect on the right things, and offers relevant theories for your situation.*
03:01 🎵 *Master the skill of your choice by taking action, avoiding theory traps, and incorporating feedback from reflection; having a coach or like-minded companions accelerates the process.*

Thank you, this is amazing video <3 Help me a lot of navigate something that essensal for me to learn and adapt new things in my target, my goal. Hope everything is what I'm looking for study and seek in the future. Thank you for myself again not giving up.

[danieladebajo]

Short, and concise. Really impactful, I will definitely use this framework in a lot of my activities. Thank you Sir.

[jaredgergon]

Bravo, incredible delivery!
In my reflection of my learning journey, learning is living and living is learning. A love of learning is a true expression of humility and it produces a love of life that most seek! I, as many, learned by not just failing, but finding shortcuts to failing as if that was key to understand how to succeed lol. —Yet, as with many, would perpetuate ideas / theory and jump right to reflection again without ever taking action— reasoning myself right past action. If ideas could produce a perfected product without the early and ugly initial mock ups, we would still lose out on all the great lessons we would’ve learned and life we would’ve experienced along the way for future generations/iterations. Your mind can be further fashioned AND you can even sharpen the tool of learning itself! Reflection alone not only stunts growth but invites egoism making it much more difficult to live out theory through action. I’m about to watch all your videos, you nailed the instructional design of your content. Well done!

16million likes but only 3600 views and 17 comments. Yehhh Youtube wtf. Great video. I read on comment of someone and it describes it pretty much. The simple white dashboard is refreshing and feels good to watch

Great work!
Escaping tutorial hell is really hard but with this framework can get some help.

[nhantacthien]

Quick and easy to understand, thank you!
