Now is the Perfect Time to Start an Ultralearning Project:

[Kernthemen: Motiviertheit und Begeisterung als Indiz dafür, dass sich eine gute Gelegenheit bietet, die Einsatz erfordert; Der Fokus auf das Notwendige; Der Fokus auf das Grundlegende]

Scott H. Young:

"When I published Ultralearning last August, I had no idea how the world would have changed six months later. Self-directed learning from home has become a requirement for millions, not just a quirky pastime for a few."

"in tough times, it is how we choose to respond to our worries that will define us as people in the years to come. Did we dissolve into panic, or did we rise up and do something constructive?"

The Road of Excitement:

"Our emotions have a deeper intelligence. Excitement isn’t just an irrational impulse. Rather, it’s a sophisticated pattern-matching algorithm cultivated over years of experience. When you feel excited about something that’s those algorithms telling your conscious mind: this is an important opportunity."

The Road of Necessity:

"The second path for choosing what to learn is to focus on things that you need to know to make your life better. This includes skills for your job, classes you need to pass, certifications you ought to obtain or even the knowledge to understand what is happening in the world. Necessity may not always arouse excitement, but it can create a stable path forward into developing skills that matter."

The Road of Foundations:

"The road of foundations looks at the question of learning from the broadest view. What skills and knowledge, if I acquired them today, would create the best foundation for learning more skills and knowledge in the future?"
