Hi, I’m Sarah Weisbarth, Director of Discover You, a part of the Rock Center for Youth Development and member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. I am excited to share with you Life Hack #1 the Learning Loop.
I love the Learning Loop. It’s a tool we teach in our programs, we use in our organization and I also use it personally. Personally, it’s a simple, yet powerful tool that helps me reflect on a lot of different parts of my day.
For me, the Learning Loop is like self-awareness in action. Instead of focusing only on what went wrong, I prime my brain to notice the positives too. It’s become second nature now. Everyday on my drive home I ask myself the three questions of the Learning Loop: “What went well? What did I struggle with? What will I do differently next time?”
If you want to try this Life Hack out the best thing is to just start. Pick a time like after a meeting, an event, or just at the end of the day, asking those three simple questions creates space for growth. So I encourage you to give the Learning Loop a try. It might sound overly simple, but sometimes the best tools are.
