+_My notes on the "[How to Learn Complex Skills Quickly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHN7BXpdAPQ)" by Justin Sung_
+
+---
+
+Why complex topics are hard to learn?
+
+- Complex skills take trial and error, over and over again
+- Latent Learning
+  - The latency between “Learning” and “Feedback”
+  - The more complex the topic of study is, the latency is bigger and the feedback is more distant from the learning
+
+Question: Am I moving in the right direction?
+
+- Help with noticing if we are deviating from the right track
+- It's possible to answer this question with the RAIL framework
+
+## RAIL Framework
+
+### **R**elevance
+
+- Feel lost and confuse, mindblank, overwhelming
+- Progressing in this stage feels like discovering new variables and irrelevant topics start to become relevant
+- Actions
+  - Exploration: spend time to understand the skill
+    - Get diverse opinions from others
+    - Learn the theory behind
+  - Challenging: be open minded to other beliefs and assumptions
+    - What we think what it's important right now, might not be correct
+
+### **A**wareness
+
+- It's also called the plato period. That period you don't see much progress
+- It's an important stage where you're doing a lot of mistakes and be aware of and not being afraid of these mistakes is the the key to make progress
+- e.g. to be able to do it correctly for the first time, you need to X mistakes, let's say 100 mistakes. The more aware of this mistakes you make and internalize how important it's to make them, it's crucial to make progress in this stage
+- When making progress in this stage, we are doing less and less mistakes
+- Actions
+  - Experimentation: trying to perform the skill and making mistakes
+  - Reflection: thinking about why you made those mistakes
+    - What am I missing? What are the variables I'm not considering?
+    - Gather feedback (we don't know what we don't know)
+
+### **I**teration
+
+- In this stage, we because it's a brand new skill, it takes a lot of effort, we're not very consistent, and it's pretty slow
+- Able to perform the technique correctly at least once or twice
+- Not discovering new mistakes but struggling to overcome them
+- Signs of progress
+  - Consistent execution of the skill (make it correctly more consistently)
+  - Execution become easier and faster
+- Actions
+  - Varied practice
+    - Different levels of challenges, context, and conditions
+    - Different subjects, workload, mediums, difficulties
+  - Adjust
+    - Observing and fine-tuning
+
+### **L**ifelong
+
+- It's when the new skill becomes a new habit
+- Avoid skill decay
+  - Refining it
+  - Regularly use it
