16种方法教你快速掌握新技能 get了吗？

The mind has great difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is imagined. That is why athletes practice mentally seeing their success before attempting the real thing. Visualize yourself achieving your new skill and each step that you need to make to see results.
从思想上已很难区分什么是真实的什么是想象的。这就是为什么运动员要在成功之前，要锤炼自己的精神境界，培养好心态。想象你自己正掌握这项新技能，想象需要取得成果的每一步。

10. Find a Mentor
向良师益友学习

Success leaves clues. The best short cut to become an expert is to find an expert and not have to make the mistakes that they have made. Finding out what NOT to do from the expert will fast-track your learning of a new skill. Reach out and send an email to them.
成功有线索可循。成为一名专家的最佳捷径就是找一个专家来学习，他们犯过的错误就不要再犯。避开专家们所走的弯路能加快你学习新技能的速度。通过电子邮件的方式向专家们进行讨教。

11. Sleep On It
考虑一晚上

Practice your new skill within 4 hours of going to sleep. Josh Kaufman is a noted rapid learning expert and tells us that any practice done within this time frame causes your brain to embed the learning more rapidly into its neural pathways. Your memory and motor-mechanics needed are ingrained at a quicker level.
在睡前4小时练习你的新技能。乔希-考夫曼是一位著名的快速学习专家，他告诉我们在这个时间段的练习会更快速地嵌入到其神经通路，大脑学起来更快。需要你的大脑记忆力功能更快，记忆更加深刻。

12. The 20 Hour Rule
20小时原则

Along with that tip, Kaufman also suggests 20 as the magical number of hours to dedicate to learning the new skill. His reasoning is that everyone will hit a wall early on in the rapid learning stage and that “pre-committing” to 20 hours is a sure-fire way to push through that wall and acquire your new skill.
除了上一个技巧，考夫曼也表明20小时是专注学习新技能的神奇数字。他的理由是，每个人在早期快速学习阶段都会碰壁，“预提交”20个小时是避免碰壁和成功学习一门新技能的必经之路。

13. Learn By Doing
边干边学

It is easy to get caught up in reading and gathering information on how to do something and never actually get around to doing it. The best way to learn is to do. Regardless of how uNPRepared you feel, make sure you are continually physically engaged. Keep alternating between research and practice…research…practice…
关于如何走向成功而不走弯路的书籍随处可见，你可能很快就晕头了。学习的最好方法就是坚持去做。即使让你感觉措手不及，也一定要确保你在不断地坚持着身体力行。保持着研究、实践…再研究、再实践……的做法。

14. Short Sprints
短距离冲刺

Rather than try to force yourself into enduring hours upon hours of dedication, work in short sprints of about 20-30 minutes, then get up and have a stretch or take a short walk. Your brain’s attention span works best with short breaks and so be sure to give it the little rest it needs.
不是强迫自己熬几个小时的时间而已，而是要在短时间内集中精力，高度专注约20-30分钟的时间，然后起身走动放松下散散步。你的大脑在短暂的休息后，在注意力上会达到最好的效果，所以，稍微休息一下很有必要。

15. Ditch the Distractions
要做到不分心

Make sure the environment you are in is perfect for your rapid-learning progress. That means ditching any social media, and the temptation to check any email. As the saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind.” Before you sit down to practice, make sure whatever potential distractions are far from sight.
确保你快速学习所处的环境良好适合静心学习。这代表你要避开社交网络，抑制住自己上网和查看电子邮件的诱惑。俗话说，“眼不见心不烦。” 在你坐下来静心练习之前，一定要确保远离所有潜在性的干扰。

16. Celebrate
庆祝进步

Every single little win that you experience on the learning process, be sure to celebrate. Your brain will release endorphins and serotonin as you raise your hands in victory and pump your fits. Have a piece of chocolate and give yourself a pat on the back. This will encourage you to press on toward the goal!
在你的学习过程中，每次小有成就时，一定要庆祝一下。你的大脑会释放内啡肽和血清素，在你举起胜利之手时会有种精神振奋的感觉。吃一块巧克力，鼓励一下自己，这会鼓励你朝着目标坚持不断前进！

Most of all, have fun. Learning a new skill should be exciting and something you cannot wait to practice every day. Keep picturing the joy of reaching the end goal and being a better version of yourself as continual motivation. To love life is to continually be learning and challenging yourself.
最重要的是，学得开心。学习一项新技能应该是一件激动人心的事情，每天迫不及待地想要练习。想象达成最终目标的快乐，做更好的自己，把这些作为持续的动力。热爱生活就是要不断学习并挑战自我。
