#TheArtOfFocus #MentalMastery #SkillAcquisition
1. You’re supposed to be feel overwhelmed
you’re supposed to be overwhelmed. it means you’re learning. it means you’re expanding. it means you’re finally left your bubble of comfort. the worse thing you can do is go back and hide from situation that make life meaningful. give you mind time to adjust.
1. Reality metabolism - the cause of mental obesity
you feel overwhelmed because you can’t digest reality fast enough. you can’t deal with the overwhelmed because it consumes your attention. all you can focus on are the negative thoughts flooding your mind how it won’t work, how you will fail, and how you could be doing something better with your time.
when the flow of information is maximized in your life through the balance of consumption and creation, you will encounter meaningful events. you will deep sense of excitement for the future, fulfillment in the present, and gratitude for the past.
1. Universal thinking - the solution to most of your problem
zoom out. adopt the perspective of your ideal self. break out of the narrow focus that traps you in a chaotic loop of negative thoughts. understand where you are, choose where you want to be, and bridge the gap with education & execution.
1) Your current perspective: take inventory of your current situation.
2) The perspective of your ideal self: what would the highest version of yourself do?
3) The perspective of the universe: beyond all limits, most of our worries are irrational and meaningless from the highest perspective.
1. How to learn any skill 10x faster
if you want to learn faster, don’t start learning.
- outlie a project
- start building it out
- learn along the way
too many people get trapped in tutorial hell, stacking up useless knowledge as brain fog.
Start > encounter a problem > seek specific knowledge to overcome it.
1) CERATE A CLARITY CATALYST
a project has:
- an outline so you can note ideas to fill in that outline from everyday life.
- milestones so you have direction and clarity on your next steps.
- a real-world deadlines that focus you to act, or else your survival a hit.
- experimentation, trail, and error so you can turn failures into lessons.
2) LEARN AS YOU VUILD
if you aren’t actively applying what you learn to a problem sitting in your mind, you are simply stacking useless knowledge as soon-to-be-forgotten brain fog.
purchase a beginner-level course in the topic. then watch overview videos on youtube that teach the fundamentals. study them until you have clarity on what to do next.
then do it, and when you encounter a problem:
- refer back to sections of the course or video
- research how to solve that problem directly
- watch tutorials where people build projects similar to yours and see how they overcome those problems
learning is problem-solving, not hoarding as much knowledge as you can.
3) TEACH WHAT YOU LEARN
the protege effect: a psychological phenomenon where teaching, or preparing to teach information to others helps a person learn that information. when you teach, you pay closer attention when you learn and identify knowledge gaps that help you learn faster.
- write in public and let people criticize you.
- teach your friend to make for interesting conversations.
- take notes on the subject but rite then as if you were teaching yourself.
don’t fabricate your experience. don’t lie about what you know. teach from the lens you learned it.
4) EXPND INTO A NEW LEVEL OF MIND
Read to expand your mind.
Write to organize your mind.
Build to focus your mind.
- Launch yourself into the unknown - immerse yourself in the culture, environment, and information related to what you are trying to learn.
- Condition your mind through repetition and exposure - slowly understand the lingo, vocabulary, and skill set to those who have seen success in that topic.
- Let your mind expand through the discomfort - the worst thing you can do id quit when you are felling growing pains.
- Read books - books give you 10 years of effort from 6 hours of reading.
- Consume lecture - long articles and videos give you 3 days of effort in 20 minutes.
- Follow new people - this is about consuming short-form content and more about training your mind to be in that tribe of people.
5) MAKE CONNECTIONS TO SOLIDIFY INDESTANDING
- Zoom out one layer - move from “photoshop” to “graphic design” to “creative work”.
- Take note to signal - when your mind signals important information, write it down.
- Build better projects - from a new level of mind, build a new project that will take you to the success you want to see.
very helpful thanks
this is where one has to disagree, what you speak of is not being overwhelmed, by definition overwhelmed is too much of something. There has to be a balance. Zone of proximal development is a thing for a reason.

The concept of 'Learn As You Build' is a game-changer for skill acquisition. To add to that, entrepreneurs should leverage the 'feedback loop' process-implement what you learn immediately, measure the results, and iterate quickly. This approach not only solidifies your new skills but also accelerates your progress by learning from real-world applications.
I recently discovered your channel here and I have so much gratitude for the information you share...thank you Dan.
I shutttered my retail shop after Christmas and mentally spiralled for longer than I imagined. Everything is uncomfortable as I search for a greater reality. I accept, and am motivated by the idea that with discipline, self-education and action, I will overcome the problems presenting and re-create my life better than ever. Thank you.
I love this set up, simple black background and shirt, and clear audio, and it helps me to listen and focus on your video. Thank You!!
OMG! Thank you for this in this moment!!! 💜 Been designing and creating my website over the past month . . . I am not a website designer, but MUST do this! . . . It has been an Herculean feat! Lots of stress management, breathwork, learning, brain stretching, and cursing like a truck driver!🤣 Getting through it with super focus on each piece, and trying not to go into overwhelm looking at the whole. Taking a brain break now, and saw this video posted seven seconds ago. Watching. 💗💕🙏💕💗
@DanKoeTalks Thank you for all of this. Feeling calmer. Seeing I am doing all of this, but so nice to hear your calming voice with clear messages. Very much appreciate your work. Feeling supported from a distance. 💗💕🙏💕💗

Pursuing my bachelor's in Computer Science right now. Had not been in school for ten years. After living more, and making a ton of mistakes. Staying in a growth mindset, and choosing to try every day. I am feeling this in every sort of way right now, and I appreciate the strong messages that work on us in a constructive way. Appreciate you Dan!
I feel like you are learning better now because you care more. That’s how I did it. Went back to school at 27.

Everytime i listen to dan i get the "brain signals" that this is important to understand and memorize, truly a good teacher and a better writer
Hi,
I am a 17 year old from Pakistan. You don't know how much stressed and confused I was before I watched this. Sometimes other people telling you the same thing can do much better than you telling yourself the same thing. You really have helped me. May Allah bless you! 💓💓

Zoom out your perspective to see problems/worries as small and insignificant. Adopt a higher, more inclusive perspective.
Consider your current perspective, ideal self perspective, and universe perspective to properly focus and align your actions.
Connect ideas by zooming out layers to see relationships between topics at different levels of abstraction.
Note important signals from your mind and build better projects from a new level of understanding.
Emulate successful projects or tutorials to start building experience through trial and error.
Set milestones like goals for the week, month, year to keep progressing towards your vision.
Establish real-world deadlines that force you to act or risk consequences to your goals.
Focus on fundamentals when starting new builds, not fancy tactics, and learn through active application of concepts.
Continually experiment and turn failures into lessons to improve over time through practical experience.
What an incredibly well-written and well-structured guide to life.
Well done, friend.
Blows my mind, the day I realize the meaning I want to have in this universe, happens to be the same day I run into this gem of a video. And it being exactly the same mission I have and the goals I wish to accomplish. To show everyone how empowered a person can become. I've been at this my whole life. And everything is coming together lately because I have chosen to go back and re-educate myself in things involving my skills progression in hopes to find more than I would ever realize, had I not. I too wish to write a book in hopes my expression will make a big impact. I'm grateful for you and catching this video ty much and the best of luck to u! The very things that have gotten me here further are the things I never cared for in life but for reason's I guess never could see past, or there being hidden importance resulting in building blocks to the next chapters of my life and works skill's. It's crazy to know I've already bumped into another person who has this idea and with accomplishment. That's what's up
Watching your video in full for the first day today after having subscribed to you for many months. I’ve enjoyed and will be watching again to absorb the lessons.
"if you don't have a project you aren't living meaningfully, because you don't have anything to tie your experience to."
You the man dude, and spot on. Learn the specific problem at hand, and you'll soon realize that diving deeper than you currently think is necessary and fully understanding the issue, results in a quicker connecting of the dots later on. Everything you do/learn will help you in everything else you do/learn.
I feel the mind stretch to discomfort everyday on each reel project, music prod, tweets, product design and website build. Overwhelming, yet meaningful.
Nice to hear you describing clear the actual mind growth process Dan. ✨
No one is building something within my entourage - Very refreshing video 😊
Learnings so much from you, just picked up your book. Thankful for you brother🙏🏼
This really helps Koe, Just started reading the intro to the AOF and got really overwhelmed. This puts it back in to perspective. Thanks for all the meaningful insights!
this is perfect on so many levels.
we only appreciate the quiet in the noise, the stillness in the rush. everything you said is hitting the nail right on the head. things will slow, only if you allow them. and it's what you make out of a stressful situation that determines the outcome.
your content inspires me to create and think, critically, each and every day.
Made my day, thank you, I'm glad it hits :)
The way you pack something so simple and obvious is....don't have words for it. you f** rock man, Thanks.
Hey, I've been wrestling with web development for a while, feeling like I'm stuck in tutorial hell. It's been overwhelming, and I've been tempted to go back to my old BPO job. But then, I stumbled upon your video, and it really resonated with me. It's my first time watching your content, and I'm already subscribed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Gotta say Dan i've been in this self-improvement niche for a while and every single one of your video my mind gets blown. Thank you for your education.
Thank you for showing up.❤
It’s crazy how this resonates in this period. Thank you. 🖤
You’re my favourite TH-camr, Dan! I feel like the world has come back into colour since discovering your channel and mindset; I felt like a unicorn. Listening to you articulate your thoughts is an absolute masterclass.
You are expanding my knowledge and inspired me to start blogging again with your 2-hour writing framework (it takes me a lot longer). It’s early days, but I made eight euros in my first week on Medium (to say that I’m pleased as punch is an understatement). Thank you for sharing so much treasure for free.
Thank you for all your content Dan!
Dude your opening statements just saved me how quickly I forgot 1 number 1 thing you are told this going to be 1 of the hardest things in your life to change and follow through in the moment we get pumped but that doesn't last 24 7 and we I know this but how quickly I threw that thought away I've been kolling my self everyday for last year actively changing and I'm being hit from all angles shock and awe jealousy envy people saying I'm fake i stopped being a victim got fired out others insecurities but they don't know is I turn that shit into motivation because what are the alternatives nothing good I'll leave it at that .thank you for this message. This just solidified I'm on the right path . embarrassing the uncomfortable. Enough of my babbling just had to say thanks and anyone out their feeling like quitting don't as long as your moving forward 1step at a time ur on way to winning
I see Dan video, I immediately jumps in to watch. Thanks for these videos 😇
You are my inspiration Dan, I like the way you think, explains briefly 😊
Love you❤
2:33 When I first started playing piano, it was so difficult to use my right hand (for the bass notes) and sync it with my left hand (melody).
As a guitar player, I was not used to using my right hand's fingers in such a way. The "AHA" moment came after 5-6 hours of practice. I had dedicated 1 hour a day for practice. Therefore, by day 6 I was a changed man.
Damn I'm literally in that boat rn, trying to learn syncing right and left hand. How did you get through it? Just focused practice?
@@dro3886 just keep doing it. And never stop before the one hour mark. Just keep going. It will eventually click. A song that helped me with that "AHA" was Lake Hylia - Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess on Piano.
Thank you. I needed this.
You have no idea how spot on this is. 😮 Literally what i am going through. Thank you Dan. You are providing invaluable value to the world.
Under Pressure - Queen is my favorite song of all time. It resonated with the world because we, at the end of the day, are all under pressure. As the last lyric goes, "This is ourselves...under pressure."
In life, we are constantly discovering, unlayering, and unraveling who we are as people. We truly discover who we are when we are UNDER PRESSURE.
i love ur perspective and analogies, it really drives ur points home with me and it’s exactly the words i need to hear at this uncertain stage of my life rn ty❤
Thank you. This was so on point,🙏
Thia video gave me confirmation about something I was wondering. I just finished the 2 hour writer course and am learning how to recognize when im inspiried. Thanks Dan
Incredible video. Thank you Dan.
I don’t how this happened, but this video popped up on my phone as I was just sitting down to learn and prepare for a new business I want to pursue! This video gave me so much positive information to think about, to the point where I’m going to keep it to the side and refer back to it on a regular basis. It’s got to be the magic of the Internet and the fact the phone is actually listening to me!
I love all your content SO MUCH. Thank you

Been watching his videos and Dan has so much great info packed in each video! Thank You 🙏
thank you dan for your hardwork and effort to share this to us. godblessed you
I've actually felt and understood the saying "Hardest part is starting" or however it goes , I'm currently learning data science, doing projects and so on.., I fond it very hard to actually start with it, plenty of procrastination and stress and things mentioned in this video. But like 3 weeks ago, I just realized while actually doing it, hardest thing was to start, after starting, I got engaged, I don't know what it is just pushing through those 10-20 minutes of cognitive discomfort and desire for previous comfort state will go away, replaced with curiosity and desire to learn and build. But I'm so weak when it comes to that start it insane, I'ts one of my top things to fix about myself, slowly improving just... Point of my comment should be that I finally had the feeling and complete understanding that hardest thing was to start, not just hearing it countless times and it going out through my other ear. Also I used this feeling of grasping it, as fuel to start, making the barrier that much less impossible. So to anyone reading, know that the most willpower is required to start, once you push trough 15 minutes of that discomfort and doing the thing, it gets magically better.
LOVE the music addition AND the message!! LOVE your videos!! ❤🙏🏾
It's very Suttle and hardly noticeable
Thank you Dan! You made my day! You are wonderful!
Just what was needed today. Thanks as always Dan!
Really, really needed to hear this. Thank you. Big big life change
00:00 🤯 Feeling overwhelmed signifies learning, growth, and stepping out of comfort zones.
01:18 🧠 Overcoming overwhelm requires training the mind through exposure and repetition, akin to building physical muscle.
03:37 🧘♂ Embracing discomfort and allowing the mind to adjust is crucial for learning and growth.
07:24 🌍 Zooming out to adopt broader perspectives helps manage overwhelm and gain clarity.
11:49 🚀 Learning any skill faster involves project-based learning, focusing on fundamentals, and problem-solving.
13:27 🎯 Creating a clear project outline provides direction and purpose for learning.
16:26 🏗 Learning as you build empowers practical application and problem-solving.
17:56 📚 Teaching what you learn enhances understanding and accelerates learning.
Well done. Thank you for this.
Thank you 😊😊😊
No joke, i had a mental breakdown two days ago... I love you for this Dan, thank you ❤
This was SOOO good! Thank you❣️
Thank you for making this! Very energizing information. ❤️👏🏽
He’s got it. He’s totally right!!!This is what stops me from being truely creative and I have a full musical education. Fear can absolutely erase it for me.
Even if the plan is memorized and already created it’s NUTS. When I zoom out that’s the word I’d describe this with.
You are an amazing person and a genius!

You have such a sweet smile. You smiled for half a second on this video and your eyes light up. Would be nice to see you smile more. Anyway the message on this video explains exactly what I was confused about. Thanks!
Thank you!
Love to hear that. Great insights, as always and a lot of teachings to apply. Obviously I'm doing it right by accident. It's just my experience: I love learning when I have a project to apply my new-found knowledge, and I hate learning (and forget it) about something I have to connection with.
I needed this one today.
Life changing content 💪🏿💪🏿
It is exactly how Im feeling. But I feel afraid and not able to do that. And I didnt know why. Thank you so much. Is so useful to identify what's going on❤
this just confirms im on the right track. thanks Dan
Thank you.

Thankyou! I need to zoom out. Been too focused on-learning in monk mode. it’s made me anxious and bored leading to total shutdown, frustration etc and unhealthy coping methods. Yep back to drawing board. Step back. Take time to look at big picture and rest more when needed
Bro this is so on point
Thank you Dan 🙏🏼💙
Amazing content brother, lucky to call you a friend.

Hi Dan, I don't know if you read the comments, but this is probably after the haircut. I want you to know thank you for this anchor. I know you might be reading tons of comments daily, but thank you. I got stuck in a rut few days, but your message always gets me back. This video reminds me of my early travels wherein I put myself in an unknown situation, it serves as a challenge for me in the long run because it change me as a person. Now I am doing a personal project and aiming it to finish before my birthday. Cheers. Would love to see the hair back
I need this video.AlhamduLillah.
Recently I have been trying to be super productive but i feel overwhelmed and i feel mental agitation when putting the work.
dan, would be great if you can drop a reading list in your newsletter.
I admire that you have used you time to make yourself into your best version.
This is fire!!!
I think this might be one of the most insightful vids I have seen ,

Thank you for another W video.
Man this was needed... I'm learning so much right now... And one thing is DAY trading and I'm overwhelmed by it, that it was starting to stress me out & I was acknowledging how I've been reacting to this and it's made me feel lost & or like why I don't get this... I've been then reacting emotionally because of it... I also like trying to explain what I'm doing cause it makes me really know what I'm talking about and if I can't, I know I need to go research about that specific part... Great vid bro 🤘😎👍
You're awesome 👍🏾😎
Dang, I needed this so bad. It's been over a week since I was studying on how to be a data analyst, and I was thinking if it's worth the time, attention, will i be successful and other thoughts. AND THESE VIDEO POPPED UP AND CLEAR MY DOUBTS AWAY!!
All of it will make sense later on!!
Amazing! , So what's your approach now for data science ?
To be honest, I’m still at a very early stage on data analytics, still learning in excel. But the game plan is to be a data analyst, but we will see if I can see my self dwelling on data science.
thanks bro like minded.
