DiSSS (Tim Ferriss)

today I learned about DiSSS
 - Deconstruction    "What are the minimal learnable units, the LEGO blocks, I should starting with?"
    - reducing
    - interviewing as a way to see how those who have already achieved what you're aiming for approached learning. 
    - Reversal is the process of looking at the final product of your skill and backtracking to find the best way to begin a task. 
    - translating 
 - Selection         "Which 20% of the blocks should I focus on for 80% or more of the outcome I want?"
 - Sequencing        "In what order should I learn the blocks?"
 - Stakes            "How do I set up stakes to create real consequences and guarantee I follow the program?"


CaFE
 - compression    can I encapsulate the most important 20% into an easily graspable one-pager?
 - frequency      how frequently should I practice?  can I cram, and what should my schedule look like?  what growing pains can I predict?  what is the minimum effective done (MED) for volume? 
 - encoding       how do I anchor the new material to what I already know for rapid recall?  Acronyms like DiSSS and CaFE are examples of encoding.
