Want to learn something new but struggle with creating a study plan? 😩 Fear no more! This blueprint leverages the power of ChatGPT to craft a personalized plan based on YOUR goals and learning style.
🧠 Step 1: Define Your “Why” 🎯
Before diving in, clarify WHY you want to learn this. Be specific!
Example: Don’t just say “Learn Japanese.” Instead, say “Understand spoken Japanese to enjoy anime without subtitles.” 🇯🇵
💡 Pro Tip: A clear “why” keeps you motivated and helps ChatGPT tailor the plan.
📚 Step 2: Unleash the Ultra Learning Framework 🧠
We’ll use the powerful “Why, What, How” framework from Scott H. Young’s book, Ultralearning.
- Why: (Already defined in Step 1)
- What: The concepts, facts, and procedures you’ll learn.
- How: The specific methods and resources you’ll use.
🤖 ChatGPT Prompt:
“You are an expert learning tutor well-versed in Scott Young’s Ultralearning. I want to create a study plan for [YOUR TOPIC] based on the principles of metalearning and the Why, What, How framework. “
Example:
“My ‘why’ for learning AI is to build simple AI web applications using LLMs and other AI products. I already know how to code in Python and build applications with Django.”
🔨 Step 3: Craft Your Personalized Study Plan 📅
Now, let’s build the plan week-by-week!
🤖 ChatGPT Prompt:
“Combine the Why, What, How information and create a week-by-week study plan with specific deliverables. Include:
- Specific assignments and projects with rubrics and specs.
- Corresponding relevant resources (primarily text-based).
- A study schedule based on [YOUR AVAILABLE STUDY TIME].”
Example:
“I can study 6 hours a week, with 3 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. I prefer text-based resources over video courses.”
🧐 Step 4: Expert Feedback 👨🏫
Get an expert’s eye on your plan!
🤖 ChatGPT Prompt:
“Act as an expert in [YOUR TOPIC] and review the study plan above as if for the first time. Provide feedback on its strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions for improvement.”
💡 Pro Tip: Incorporate the feedback that resonates with you.
🚀 Step 5: Supercharge Your Studying with ChatGPT 💪
ChatGPT isn’t just for planning! Use it to:
- Generate practice questions: Feed it relevant material and ask for questions.
- Deeply understand concepts: Use the Feynman Technique: explain a concept to ChatGPT, identify gaps in your understanding, and ask for clarification.
- Practice mock interviews: ChatGPT can act as the interviewer and provide feedback.
- Drill specific skills: Request targeted practice problems, like drawing noses or solving dynamic programming problems.
