Learning Fast Doesn’t Mean Learning Alone

Learning alone can be slow and overwhelming. The trick is to find guided learning productivity.

Watching hours of videos or piecing together advice from blogs can feel productive—but often leaves you stuck. The truth? Learning alone slows you down.

It’s faster (and less frustrating) to follow someone just a few steps ahead. They’ve made the mistakes. They know what to ignore. And they can offer a clear path—without the noise.

With a guide, you’re still doing the work—but you’re not wasting time on trial and error. You’re in the slipstream of rapid learning techniques. (If you’ve read my earlier post, you know about this time hack.)

Next week, I’m hosting a 50-minute online MasterClass for higher ed, government, and nonprofit professionals who want to start using async meetings—where people contribute on their schedule instead of meeting live.

I’ll share what I learned the hard way, including:

  • How I over-designed async and confused my team
  • What actually works—and why it’s simpler than you think
  • Tools you haven’t heard of (but should), like Miro as a Jamboard replacement

If async has been on your list but felt too messy to tackle, this is for you!

Asynchronous Meetings help your reclaim time while getting important work done.

Your time matters. Why waste it figuring things out all out alone? Let someone else clear the path—you’ll get where you’re going faster. ✨
