Disss by Tim Ferris

1. DiSSS: A meta learning process – learning how to learn (meta analysis). DiSSS can be applied to any skill or task.

DECONSTRUCTION – What are the LEGO blocks? Breaking something big into a smaller units. Ask a lot of questions.

SELECTION – Which 20% of the blocks will give me 80% of the outcomes I want? Pareto principle.

What you do is more important than how you do it.

SEQUENCING – In what order should I learn the 20% blocks? Logical progression.

STAKES – How do I set up real stakes to guarantee follow-through? A service to help with this is stickK − Change Starts Now2.

CaFE: How to simplify retention of the information you have just DiSSSed.

COMPRESSION – Can I encapsulate the most I important 20% into an easily graspable one-page?

FREQUENCY – How frequently should I practice? What is the minimum effective dose (MED) for volume?

ENCODING – How do I anchor the new material to something I already know?

From the book: Deconstruction – What are the minimal learning units, the Lego blocks, I should be starting with?
Selection: Which 20% of the blocks should I focus on for 80% of the results?
Sequencing: In what order should I learn the blocks?
Stakes: How do I set up stakes, create real consequences, and guarantee I follow the program?
CAFE:
Compression: Can I encapsulate the most important 20% into an easily graspable one-pager?
Frequency: How frequently should I practice? Can I cram and what should my schedule look like? What growing pains can I predict? What is the minimum effective dose (MED) for volume?
Encoding; How do I anchor the new material to what I already know for rapid recall? Acronyms like DiSSS and Cafe
