Powerful speed learning techniques for the digital age that will give you a formidable competitive advantage.
Today we are all need to deal with more information than ever before and if you can’t keep up you quickly get left behind.
The simple truth is: There is so much information in, more forms and formats than ever before, available to us and being pushed to us on a daily basis in more ways than ever before that the old methods of dealing with information are no longer effective. They are simply too slow. If you try to learn everything you need or want to know today at a normal, traditional, “pre-digital age” learning pace you will fail.
And that’s where this unique course will help.
I’ve always been had a voracious appetite learning, information and ways to boost productivity but it wasn’t until I became a single parent with a toddler that I really felt both an urgent need for new information (ask any new parent!) – and, at the same time, hopelessly time-poor. It was then, out of sheer desperation to learn more, faster, that I really got focused and hunted down and developed and refined the techniques revealed in this course.
These techniques have saved (and gained) me massive amounts of time and allowed me to get through hundreds and hundreds of hours of material in various formats in a bare fraction of that time.
And now you can do the same.
Students, professionals and anyone else who finds they have more stuff to learn, read, watch etc than they have time for will find the solution to that problem and much, much more inside the course.
Anyone can do this course and reap immense benefits. There is no pre-requisite knowledge required and all resources are either provided or available for free.
In the first part of the course you’ll discover how to eliminate information overload once and for all and get through information in any format up to 3-4 times faster.

- Eliminate information overload forever by controlling your information inflow and focusing only on the information that you actually need.

And, you’ll be able to do all this right away without any tedious practice drills!
In the second part of the course you’ll find out a whole bunch of ways you can speed up and optimize your learning even further by applying simple speed learning “hacks” and making some powerful changes to things you probably already do.
All of these you can implement and benefit from literally straight away.

The lectures contain material that is already known. The lectures DO NOT contain techniques for increasing reading speed. General approaches to time management as well as sleep, diet and exercise that play a role in mental performance are mentioned.

This course was awesome! The information and tools shared within this course are invaluable. It was all very well organized, and I really appreciated the fact that there was no fluff. The lessons are short and to the point. I've already begun to put some of the techniques to work (I actually incorporated some of them as soon as I learned them and used them to complete the course faster). I would most certainly purchase another class from this instructor.

It's a basic scam. All this information is freely available with a simple Google search. I didn't pay 10 Euros for this guy to recommend me video to audio converting software, God damn it! I want my money back. Edit: That was my opinion at the 1/3 of the course. It gave the impression of being sketchy, because of language like: "do you want to have more time to do X, and so on", but the course is quite old, before this speech has been spewed ad nauseam by advertisers and left a bad taste in our mouths. I found the course quite good and very well-structured by the end of it. However the information is still readily available on Youtube, albeit not in this packed format.

Course too immersed in general concepts and filler material and not specific enough specific techniques, applications, examples, and demonstrations. It lacked specific, effective, step by step accelerated learning techniques or applications for that I could apply immediately to dramatically enhance my learning skills. There was too much peripheral facts about general concepts and not getting to the point. There was a lot of repetition about the same concepts in different sections of the course. Needed more actual demonstration and examples of actual accelerated learning skills to be of any use to me. Again, information to general to be of any significant use.

Very good course, swift and direct. Excelled at the use of technology, and actually convinced me to use some of these modalities a lot more. For someone not technologically savvy, may have some difficulties or limited utility. He does a great job of helping to set up tools though. For people looking at the various courses, I'd recommend putting this one up front, as it may help accentuate and enhance learning of those that follow.

I have speed watched this in one sitting. The main points for me were: I need to discriminate my information my vigorously - reduce my email spam, reduce social networking even more and really stick to information that is beneficial to my immediate goals. I can see from this that my preferred method of learning is video and audio over written, and this is especially applicable when its learning that is less detailed knowledge eg. no exam required. I need to embrace non-completion, I definitely suffer from thinking I have to complete everything even though the purpose may have been served. I think if one thinks about the points in this course they can be immediately actioned. A lot of these points I feel I am already doing as well - sleeping 7 hours; reducing social media (at least recognising its a waste of time/should be limited); using 'found time' eg. learning on the train/commute; being aware that distractions reduce effectiveness; multitasking is not ideal. Something I personally will look more into is speed reading, this is only briefly discussed. My advice to those who take this course: follow the advice of the presenter by - reviewing the content and picking what is of interest and furthermore, speed watching and not completing if you don't feel the need. The software sections I skipped until I might need in the future for instance. Its definitely worth takig a step back and reviewing your approach to learning, this course will certainly assist in that.

WOW! all i can say is this is indeed the best bang for your buck! Like the course instructor mentioned, by taking this course, it will save you years for heartache and cut years off the learning curve if you are learning something! I think everyone should take this course and i highly recommend it. This course will pay for itself based on the time it frees up for you, as well as how to gain a competitive advantage in life. I hope there are more courses by Matthew Key! Thank you!

Awesome! I've just finished this course. Man, it's excellent! I learned a lot, especially to change my mindset around learning and how to consume information. You see, I often feel flooded by the vast amounts of information that I need to process as soon as possible. And most of the times, I think that it would take more years than I'll surely live to consume everything. And I want to do fun things as well. I want to spend more time with my family, yet often work gets in the way. Deadlines approach fast and I need to research tons of material for my job, sometimes at the cost of failing a loved one. I don't know about you, but this thought pains me. In the end, how we live is our responsibility. The amount of information I need to learn won't change, but I can optimize how I process it so it impacts my life in a positive way. I was delighted to see that Matthew not only offered a learning system, but also a holistic approach about optimal learning and all the intricacies we need to know to operate at 100 % of our capabilities as human beings. In this vein, after the 7 step solution is explained, we enter what I like to call phase two of the course. This is critical because most courses and books forget about the most important aspect of performance: our bodies. A weak, sick, sad, poisoned, and sleep-deprived body can't accomplish much. It's the combination of phase one with phase two that makes the end result so powerful. Phase one is all about the study system, from how to prepare the information to how to consume it effectively. It also tackles important aspects like the correct mindset we must adopt to actually crush it with this system. Everything is well-explained and easy to understand. Though Matthew presents a lot of scientific data to support his claims, you never get lost because the videos are short and to the point. I can guarantee you can apply all the topics covered right now. The contents pack a lot of valuable information that will help anyone willing to apply it, no matter the age and the level of education. For example, I find amazing that just a simple action you can apply today will make you 50 % more effective at work or school, guaranteed. And as I said, everybody can do that. I like the fact that we not only get videos, but also different text and audio files that support the teaching. In some cases, free software is used, but you get covered as Matthew walks you trough all the steps you need to donwload and use it. Then we have phase two, where you can learn a lot about advanced hacks supported by science. The pacing of the videos keeps consistent (short and to the point). Make sure to take lots of notes here. Personally, I spotted several key areas I need to improve urgently that I wasn't aware before taking the course. Finally, if you ask me, I would say the best video and the most powerful message comes at the end. A brilliant closure of the course that lifted my spirit and convinced me how important the skills you’ll learn here really are. BTW, if you have lots of Udemy courses you didn't start because of the lack of time, I think giving this course a try will help you in that regard too!

If you feel like you're drowning in a sea of information then this course is for you! Definitely not your average productivity course, but full of novel and practical techniques that you can action straight away. Learn how to make technology be your friend rather than your foe. I would highly recommend this to anyone who knows the feeling of having a hectic schedule, endless to do lists and multiple interests in life - and believe that they don't have time to achieve what they would like to every day. Presented in a straight forward no nonsense format- this course is packed with lots of resources that are free to use and really make a difference at the end of the day.
