The lifelong learning compass is an exercise to help you think about, plan, prioritize, and focus on the subjects that you want to learn. It’s very much open to change over time, but thinking long term helps in the initial construction of it.
It has four directions:
Mastery
1-2 subjects that you want to be a true master in. Think, “People ask me for advice in this area.”
Erudition
1-2 subjects that you want to be truly knowledgable and well read in. Think, “I could have a long form, detailed discussion with a master in this area.”
Range
1-2 subjects that you aspire to know more than the average person in. These topics give us distant, seemingly unconnected external knowledge to spur creative and nonconforming ideas in our domains of Mastery and Erudition.
Rapid Acquisition
An always changing catch-all bucket for skills we realize we need to quickly learn to an acceptable standard to survive. Think, cooking once you move out of your parents home, parenting once you conceive, a new application or software upon starting a new job.
Connections
