The article discusses Pat Flynn’s insights from his book "Lean Learning" where he emphasizes the issue of information overload in today’s learning environment. Flynn argues that while people feel productive consuming content, they often fail to apply what they learn, hindering progress. Citing a 2019 Harvard study, he highlights the disconnect between perceived learning and actual outcomes. Flynn advocates for a focused, just-in-time learning approach, advising learners to target specific information relevant to their immediate tasks and apply it directly, thus avoiding the pitfalls of knowledge hoarding.
