“The more you live, the more things you learn. The more that you learn,the more places you go”
Story Time,
To begin, as a college student at a young age, it is important for me to spend my day productively and learn new skills. But I was unproductive scrolling through Instagram all day. I’ve looked into a bunch of things and read many articles to find out how to get stuff done efficiently.
I watched hundreds of YouTube videos to learn how to be more productive and found nearly 50 hacks. Following all these hacks was tough on a rough day.
Later, I realized that watching productivity videos does not make you productive and that you must follow a single way and practice it consistently to win any day and master any skill you desire.

Recently, I found a powerful mantra from Warikoo that is quite good for me to master a skill. And I have been following it for quite some time to improve myself.

The only motto for quickly learning any new ability is “BECAUSE”!
“ BECAUSE”!
Yes, you read it correctly, but you must follow the word in order to be productive and learn things rapidly.
B- Basics
E- Educate
C- Consume
A- Application
U- Understand
S- Show
E- Evaluate
As a first step, you must have a basic knowledge of the skill. To learn a new skill, you must first master the fundamentals of the skill. Consider the following scenario, If you want to be a cricketer, you must first master the fundamentals of the game as well as the game’s rules.
Then learn everything you can about the skill. Educate and make yourself involved in the skill. You can purchase a course or watch YouTube videos and read some articles to educate yourself.
Consume a bunch of skill-related information. As said earlier, if you want to be a cricketer. In your free time, you can also watch cricket matches,listen to cricket reality podcasts, and make yourself surrounded by cricket-related information. Thus consuming these helps you improve your interest in it.
Put everything you’ve learned together and apply it to a basic task. There is no such thing as a perfect time to begin something.
When you apply the skills you’ve learned, everything cannot be put together perfectly on the first try. So try to Understand that you can’t be perfect at first try and keep working on it and rectify the mistake.
Show off your skills to your friends and colleagues. If you are learning to paint, then paint a simple art and show it to your family and friends. It will boost your confidence. You will receive feedback, criticism, and praise from everyone them which motivates you to pursue it.
Assess yourself. Self-evaluation is the most effective technique to become the greatest version of yourself. Conduct a self-analysis and consistently analyze yourself.
A single method “BECAUSE ” helps me a lot. I hope this helps you as well.
