How to learn just about anything quickly using this self-teaching technique.

When you have to learn something new and execute quickly with low margin for error, WDD is your best friend.

Over the years, I have had continuously relearn, rehash, and re-adapt my methods to respond to changes in the design industry as a whole at the drop of a hat.

In this article, I’m going to share with you a step by step method that I developed over years, to learn a brand new skill as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Its called WDD or Watch, Doc, Do, and by the end of this article I sincerely hope that you are able to use it to absolutely dominate your learning goals from this day forward.

So what is WDD?

Critically WDD is a pattern that I use to quickly learn, internalize, and implement brand new skills with alacrity.

WDD framework for learning and executing essentially anything as quickly as possible.

When you use WDD, you forgo the constant grinding, follow-along, stop-starting, and staccato stair-stepping of traditional learning methods that force you match mental positions with the person teaching you.

WDD instead allows you to take a brand new skill, rip it apart, build your own mental model of it, and execute at bullet-train speed.
