1. Self-Regulation: Regular reflection on strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, monitoring progress, and evaluating results. This leads to continuous improvement. 2. Experimentation and Risk: Taking calculated risks and running experiments to push beyond comfort zones, leading to growth. 3. Avoid Distractions: Starting the day without email or notifications helps maintain focus and reduces stress. 4. Balance Between Exploration and Exploitation: Combine learning new skills with deepening existing knowledge. 5. Minimize Distractions: Limit distractions, including background music, to maximize cognitive performance.

17:30 the "overlapping" of skills is what has worked extremely well for me. I'm in my position in work because I did precisely that. I am a software engineer in a lead position. I'm not the best engineer in the team, and while I'm pretty decent at what I do there, it's the combination with my communication skills and empathy that made me uniquely suited for the position within the company.

[@dianeschulz3127]

"T-Shaped" employees are super valuable, where you have a general focus, but at least 2 other skills that amplify your primary skill.

[@TamaraJoy7]

Steven, This episode was the perfect one to help your audience learn how to better understand, remember and put into practice all the gems of knowledge your guests shower us with! I’m a primary school music teacher and so my no 1 goal each day at work is to help my students learn better by helping them understand , practice, use and retain skills and information. To help myself personally, when I now listen to your podcasts, I actually slow the playback speed down to 75%, and when I hear something interesting and relevant to me, I stop the video and write it down in MY actual DIARY of a CEO notebook! I also use sticky notes all over my house to help remember the most important ideas. Because like you said, you hear something awesome but then quickly forget it a day later.

[@ingbal4557]

[@albertbyiringiro6799]

I never do commenting on videos. But I can't imagine that it has taken me 3-4 hours of watching and taking notes on this episode. Thanks to Stephen for introducing David, whose breadth of knowledge has really amazed me. My main takeaway is having self-regulatory cycle to learn from experiences and doing this explicitly using journaling.

[@WhaChuUpTo]

Wow. This is one I need to rewatched over and over. This was soooo dense with insights and Golden info nuggets. Never heard of David Epstein before but am a huge fan now.

[@vanessasanchez5383]

At 58:56 you guys discuss the distracting effect of listening to music while working. I've heard this before, however, as someone with ADHD, I've also found that certain types of noise during certain types of tasks can help me focus. For example, when writing, I can listen to music that is wordless with an irregular tempo. I can listen to music with words and an irregular or regular tempo when designing something visual. Sometimes I need an uninterrupted driving beat to keep me focused for hours at a time, but sometimes that makes me sleepy. Sometimes I need to listen to white noise, like the sound of rain or coffee shop ambiance, for sustained focus. I've definitely also enjoyed zero music/noise at times, too. Why do different things work at different times?

[@JenniferThimell]

I'm Blue, Particularly the chorus, got me through my MA

[@MarionMM]

Same here, depending on what I am doing, especially if it is something I do not feel like doing, listening to music helps me focus, this even includes singing along. Sometimes the brain has to multitask to task at all. haha

[@arcorb4580]

Same for me, except I prefer ASMR videos. I need just a hint of the right auditory stimulation, and I can work for hours.

[@bonniepoole1095]

At the end of a ZOE interview, the moderator does a review of the main concepts presented (to the best of his understanding) and asks the person being interveiwed to make corrections or add clarifications to the moderator's understanding. It's an instant summary of the notes taken during the interveiw. I find these reviews to be helpful in solidifying my new knowledge.

[@jennyonyinye1955]

Wow, you guys finally solved the microphone problem. I remember the podcast you did where you and the guest talked about problem solving and you mentioned that you and the crew never thought about solving the microphone problem. This podcast teaches me alot, and today i've learnt that having a problem solving mindset makes a difference. Nice one!

[@NoShirtMan]

Really love the pod and thank you for all the wonderful conversations you have. On the point of remembering things, this is the amazing things that good teachers do every day to support students with their learning (cognitive load theory, principles of instruction). It’s incredible to think about learning and thinking, and we often lose, or more pertinently don’t practise, these skills once out of an educational setting.

[@aitan6593]

As a DJ and music producer the conversation at 47:00 is so funny to me because, with David’s advice, Steven hits the nail on the head pretty much immediately. There are so many lessons to be taken from constructing a track which can directly be ported to constructing a DJ set.

How do “serial innovators” stand out to businesses or describe themselves? I have never had a term for myself or how I operate but this captures it perfectly. When I work with or for a business I can’t help but see and share where issues are or the actions to take to improve them. To the open minded few that trusted me to help them the results were massive. How do I describe what I do? My experience is based in actual experience and observation not text books. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to be so I tried EVERYTHING. Marketing, branding, design, consulting, strategy, health and safety, training. Everyone wants an expert on paper, what if there is no certificate for the thing you mastered?

Thank you so much for this episode. It's exactly what I didn't know I needed. It's an HR specialist, the last few weeks I have been struggling to figure out if I am truly needed. My colleagues and former co-workers all have these really good specializations and I feel like I'm all over the place. I've had the privilege to learn different facets of things that aren't necessarily HR with their connected like systems within HR like things that connect to the specialized thing. Sometimes I feel like those aren't needed so many people want you to be a recruiter or to be really good at benefits are really good at leave or really good at relations and I feel like I know about all of those things in different ways but not enough to be an expert so do I fit anywhere. This is definitely an episode I'll have to watch again. I've definitely spent a couple of weeks googling what is the point of being a generalist Is it better to be a generalist or is it better to be a specialist. I often wonder if I just wonder around with a backpack full of random knowledge but it's always useful Like I'm MacGyver lol I'll also be reading the books. This is awesome. Literally perfect timing for me.

same. I was always worried about my future since I really don't know what I like. started from schools, when people asked me what subject I like the most, I would say A,B,C,D till I almost mentioned all. Then now in my 20s I feel like I am not like others, so I kept wondering whether or not I can be good at something. Then last month, when I read "Range" it was so comforting, I fee like being told that "it's just not the time yet, you'll get there, and better than you can ever imagine"

[@emelyanovamasha]

Yea, also the difficulty of choosing - one subject, one career over others...😢 But eventually you do have to choose - and choose wisely - pay attention to yourself, your likes, what you enjoy doing. But even if you make a mistake, it's ok - you will learn smth about yourself and that will bring you closer to your ('wiser') future self - and eventually you will get there - one step at a time 😊 and don't forget to enjoy the process❤

I’m not surprised toggling between tasks increases stress. I’m a stay at home mom, and trying to do anything with my three year old around can make me stressed just for the fact that I’m having to stop and start any given task every two minutes.

This is an amazing interview. I love the discussion on the difference between Tiger Woods and other athletes' development paths. If I understand correctly, our son's fencing coach ended up with a 50 year old making it to nationals after only 3 years. It sounds like he just signed up with his son because the coach would give you 50% off a second family member's monthly fees and the adults practiced with the advanced teens, and if you have to stay there anyways because you have a long commute you might as well get some exercise. Also, that fencing coach encouraged parents to have their kids in other sports because it was helpful to improving in fencing (possibly some of that is exercising different muscles from fencing which is very imbalanced).

Another benefit of music is that it's like a safety net for your attention, you still stay in your current task context even if you get unfocused. We all get pangs of inattention or boredom that trigger us to switch tabs to chat/slack/teams, or quickly look at another task or browser tab. But if that moment of inattention is captured by the music then it's not as hard to get back on task. At least in my experience.

There's an amazing Coursera course called "Learning how to Learn" by Deep Teaching Solutions, and it covers a lot of the ideas here in more detail, including on how they work on a biological level. It goes all the way from deliverate practice and the varying types of learning (flash cards, etc), to understanding memory and even utilising a Memory Palace. Fundamentally shifted how I think about learning, and I loved the whole thing, as the instructor clearly loves what she does. So, while I didn't gain a huge amount from this conversation (still fun), it's reinforced that what I've learned is on the right track, so I appreciated it!

Checking your email first thing ruins your day. You're welcome ;)

[@tomhayward3796]

Lol, know it’s a joke but for those who want the bit more in there: Time block your working day into sessions where you work on only one specific task during each designated block, with notifications and distractions as low as you can get away with, no je reason for this because switching between tasks causes your brain to need to switch running it’s previous task whilst also adopting the rules of new tasks, so if you switch constantly between tasks in a work session you’re way way more unproductive than by focusing purely on one thing. Make sure to not over time block your tasks, give yourself leeway and forgiveness in length of sessions and breaks between tasks and stuff. Also make sure that you identify the one thing that you want to achieve in the day that’s most important for you to get done and set aside time ti complete it, and of course commit to carrying out the task in that time no matter how much you may not like it Music is innately varyingly disruptive but it can also be motivating. It takes up brain space but the motivation and calming effect can be beneficial. Listening to non-novel music is less disruptive on average due to familiarity. Lyrical music can be problematic and simple repetitive instrumental music is on average much better due to no novelty. But your music should be quiet nonetheless to take up less brain space. Highly cognitively demanding tasks are much more disrupted by music than simple ones, if you’re bouncing around a lot of ideas it’s probably better to not listen to anything

[@makingwaves1239]

If you do 10 000 hours you may be good at something. Whether you are a master in it depends (relatively spoken) on the competition. I never understood the argument with starting your day 05 o'clock in the morning. There are 24 hours a day, and whether you put in the work early or late doesn't matter as long as you get it done. The only hours you are controlled by the clock is the hours you are expected to be available for others (customers, vendors and so on). If it suits you better to work late in the evening instead of early in the morning, go for it. You will be just as productive that way.

[@nilnil7325]

The big difference I find between getting work done in the morning versus the evening is that when I work late in the evening (and/or into the night) it disrupts my sleep cycle and I wake up the next day feeling really tired and mentally groggy. If I go to bed early (9-10pm) and wake up early (5-6:30am), I feel so much better and my health improves. In the long run, waking up early and doing the work in the morning contributes to better physical, mental and emotional health (for me at least), which in turn helps me become more and more productive.

[@iaindavies7785]

@@nilnil7325 There are a couple other DOAC episodes where they talk about sleep cycles and that some people are naturally morning people and some people are naturally night hours. Best advice - Know thyself

[@ChrisESil]

Following the line of reasoning that sleep is important and that one sleeps to recharge/recover, one can also infer that as the day progresses, one’s cognitive bandwidth decreases. In other words, it would be illogical to assert, in most cases, that one’s cognitive ability is equally as receptive after waking up vs after a full day. It stands to reason, then, that allocating the morning time for learning likely provides the most optimal conditions. Interestingly enough, there are people that say they “work better at night” but never research the contributors. I suspect that they like working at night for the same reasons others like to work early morning (while it is still night)…less distractions.

[@makingwaves1239]

@@ChrisESil : Yes, of course ... late at night and early in the morning (depending on what you prefer) is usually a time of less distractions and disturbance in general. Some of our hours we are locked to being available to other people. If your customers expect to reach you between 08 - 16, well then that is the hours you need to be available for them. But if you for example are writing code for a piece of software, it doesn't matter if you do that work early or late, as long as it suits your internal clock. My point is that I am not buying this mantra that you are less productive if you don't start your day very early. You have 24 hours available, and 8 of those hours you are asleep. The other 16 hours and what you use them on is a matter of prioritizing.

For distraction free music, video game soundtracks are designed to be less distracting than regular music. They contain fewer musical movements, no lyrics, and often understated instrumentation. They're designed to be a backing track to an experience that could last hours, so they try to avoid repeating patterns that will become annoying or attention grabbing as well.

What if for children at young age, how do we as parents know which kind of sports / hobbies are the right one for them? How long do we keep them exposing and trying out? What are the clue or hint to look out for?

"What's something you are good at that you aren't using?" Wow! What an excellent question to ask yourself to get to the next level.

I’m absolutely captivated by this episode. Having spent so much time learning independently, I’ve developed my own terminology for the process. For example, I refer to "debugging your own thinking," which aligns closely with the idea of "self-regulated learning." The insights from this episode will help me deepen my self-understanding with greater efficiency. On the topic of AGI, I fully agree with David. It’s clear that we don’t yet grasp why LLMs are so powerful at encoding human knowledge. But with the growing financial focus on Generative AI, we might eventually uncover the mechanisms behind it and learn to encode knowledge more effectively. Moreover, I believe that our understanding of how to support super AI is still in its infancy, making fears of it premature. The analogy is like fearing that a cockroach will learn to take over the Earth and develop the brain capacity to do so. Is the human brain-and its digital approximation-able to be 1000x smarter? Knowing all disciplines at an expert level is not 1000x smarter; knowing how to conceptualize and think in the fifth dimension (and higher) might be.

This highlights what could be a problem with many studies conducted about human psychology. I wonder how much of our understanding of human psychology is skewed by the use of undergraduates because they will do anything for $20. How would our views on the science of human accomplishment change if the samples were different?

I‘ve been looking for a pic of your new Mic setup, sounds good! Which Mic did you opt for? A lot of people would pull out a shotgun without realising mega directional mics have more pickup in the rear. I can hear a bit or room, but it seems well controlled… good acoustics maybe? If your setting mic height by a locked off wide shot, you could always layer a shot without the mics to achieve an even tighter mic placement… just don’t nudge the camera 😬 Probably more risk/faff than it’s worth… as I said it sounds plenty good 😊

Hi I’m Devon and I’m 8 and I discovered you podcast from my cousin who is 13 and it’s helped me on my way to starting my first company. Let’s go!

Question is: before 12 years old, isn't there a ton of basic education and knowledge that one needs to learn before even thinking of making a company? Literally one of the main points of this interview is to try and learn a lot of things before selecting one.

Very fascinating. Excellent material as always!
