That's a great point, Tony!
Learning multiple skills can definitely have a cross-pollination effect. Here are some additional thoughts I found online:
- Transferable skills: The process of learning itself strengthens your ability to learn in general. You develop better study habits, time management, and problem-solving skills that benefit you across disciplines.
- Motivation boost: Seeing progress in one area can keep you motivated when another skill feels challenging. It creates a sense of accomplishment and keeps learning exciting.
- Efficiency through comparison: As mentioned with the case of new languages, learning similar skills can help you identify patterns and commonalities. This can make learning each skill more efficient in the long run.
Here are some other ideas:
- Context switching: While there are benefits, juggling too many skills at once can lead to confusion and hinder progress. Some people may find that it is easier to plan their learning to allow for focused practice sessions.
- Learning styles: Not everyone thrives on multi-learning. For those who find it overwhelming, it is better to focus on mastering one skill at a time.
Overall, the point raised about the cross-pollination of skills is a great argument for embracing a well-rounded learning approach.
I would also love to hear some specific examples of how any of you might have experienced this in your own learning journey!
