3 Questions to Ask Yourself


I’m in Salt Lake City!

It’s my first time visiting and I’m in and out in a matter of two days.

3 Questions to Ask Yourself

Ever feel like you're stuck in the slow lane on the highway to learning?

Jim Kwik has a game-changing strategy to supercharge your learning journey!

If you haven’t read his book, Limitless, I HIGHLY suggest it.

Here are his three golden questions to ask yourself:

1️⃣ How can I use this?

2️⃣ Why must I use this?

3️⃣ When will I use this?

By answering these questions when you learn something, you're not just absorbing information passively; you're activating your brain's power to connect, contextualize, and apply knowledge.

Granted, I’m currently trying to: a.) land the hardest kind of media (national TV), b.) during the toughest time (an election year), and c.) with experts who don’t live in the country. Still, I’m learning that I need to do things differently. Here are some tweaks I’m making and reminders I’m telling myself: Send a tweet that says “Hey, @person.
