The best way to learn something fast is by simply doing it.

In today’s workplace, there’s nothing that says added asset more than picking up a new skill. Learning a new skill allows you to participate in more projects outside of your department, hence opening opportunities for you to learn new things and expand your skill set. Here are quick ways to make sure that you are constantly learning new skills:

1. Know your goal

It’s difficult to learn something new without a goal in mind. Your goal acts as a guide to help you learn the new skill. When you set it, try to identify the bigger purpose that’s driving it. Ask yourself questions like, why is this skill important to you compared to others? Once you learn it, what will you do with it?

2. How will you attain it?

You now know your goal, but now comes the question of how you will attain it? Carry out some research into the skill that you want to learn. Then list down all the elements that will be involved in learning it. This will help you map out which parts you should focus on in order to reach your goal.

3. Dive right in

The best way to learn something fast is by simply doing it. Learn the basics of the skill and find a project that you can participate. Not only will you get to help out another team but you will also gain practical knowledge!
