Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the way we learn new skills. From personalized learning programs to quizzing yourself, AI can help you quickly and effectively master new knowledge. Here are seven ways you can use AI for learning a new skill faster and more efficiently than ever before!
1. Use the 80/20 Rule to Learn Fast!
The Pareto Principle, or 80/20 Rule, is a rule that says that 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. The most focused 20% of your effort goes towards 80% of your work. It means that if you focus on doing the most important things first, you can learn new skills quickly. Take advantage of AI to prepare a plan.
ChatGPT Sample Prompt:
I want to learn about [insert topic]. identify and share the most important 20% of learnings from this topic that will help me understand 80% of it.
2. Learn and Develop Any New Skill
The rule of 100 says that you should practice something for 100 hours to learn it. That way, you can become really good at it quickly. If you spend 100 hours a year on any skill or discipline, which averages out to around 18 minutes a day, you’ll be better than 95% of the world in that skill. Consistency is key here, and AI can get you on the proper path!
ChatGPT Sample Prompts:
Explain [insert topic] in simple and easy terms that any beginner can understand.
I want to learn/get better at [insert desired skill]. I am a complete beginner. Create a 30 Day learning plan that will help a beginner like me learn and improve this skill.
3. Get Short And Impactful Book Summaries
Reading books is great for learning because it helps you learn new things and understand the world better. Books can help you think of ideas and give you information about different topics. Not enough time to read? The hack is to use AI to quickly produce short and informational book summaries from your must read list.
ChatGPT Sample Prompt:
Summarize the book [insert book] by the author [insert author] and give me a list of the most important learnings and insights.

4. Summarize Long Text To Accelerate Your Learning
Similar to how The Feynman Technique helps one to learn new skills quickly, this technique involves breaking down the skill into smaller parts and learning each part one at a time, AI can help break down and summarize long text into more direct and digestible pieces.
ChatGPT Sample Prompt:
Summarize the text below into 500 words or less. Create sections for each important point with a brief summary of that point.
5. Generate Ideas
Creative blockers can stem from numerous sources, such as self-doubt, fear of failure, and a general lack of motivation. They can also be caused by external factors such as a cluttered workspace, tight deadlines, and exhaustion from overworking. No matter the source of the creative blocker, it is important to take steps to overcome them and AI has a shoulder you can lean on.
ChatGPT Sample Prompt:
I want to [insert task or goal]. Generate 10 ideas for [insert task or goal].
6. Get Solutions To A Problem
How often do we find ourselves exhausted of our efforts to solve an issue? I can’t be the only one! Sometimes our brain can drop the ball. And whether it be from mental fatigue or stress, the lack of a solution can be extremely frustrating. Luckily, AI can help with that as well.
ChatGPT Sample Prompt:
Act as an expert career coach. I [explain problem]. Give me a list of 5 solutions that could potentially fix this problem.
7. Test Yourself!
Self-testing can be an effective way to improve one’s knowledge and skills. It is also a great way to ensure understanding of concepts by providing feedback on incorrect answers and allowing a person to adjust learning strategies on the basis of their results. AI makes for a great study partner.
ChatGPT Sample Prompt:
I am currently learning about [insert topic]. Ask me a series of questions that will test my knowledge. Identify knowledge gaps in my answers and give me better answers to fill those gaps.
What Are You Waiting For!?
The ability to learn new skills quickly is becoming more and more essential in today’s fast-paced world. Fortunately, advances in AI are making it easier than ever for anyone to acquire knowledge at an unprecedented rate.
Anyone with a computer and an internet connection can become proficient in almost anything. With the right tools, even complex concepts can be broken down into small manageable chunks which make them much easier for learners of all levels to digest.
