Good list of idea on how to learn a new skill or master a new topic

A friend sent me a link to: Climbing the Learning Curve: What to Do When You’re a n00b.

Dustin Wax has a great list of ideas on how to ramp up the learning curve. Suggestion six really caught my attention:

----------
6. Write about it.
One of the best ways to learn is to write about a topic – even if nobody else ever reads it. It quickly becomes apparent what the blank spots are in your budding new understanding, driving you back to fill in those gaps. Take an hour or two to write a short description of what you’ve learned about your topic – who knows, it might even come in handy as a reference later on.
----------

This is a good list to review for those of us who are still learning.
