Do metalearning by asking why, what, and how

You perform a metalearning project by asking three questions:

1. Why am I learning what I am learning?
2. What knowledge and abilities do I need to acquire?
3. How am I going to acquire the knowledge and abilities I need?

Answering these questions involve the following steps:

1. articulate your motivation to focus your learning
2. understand the knowledge structure of a subject
3. identify bottlenecks in your learning project
4. use benchmarking and emphasizing-excluding to know how to learn effectively
