Explanation
DiSSS is Tim Ferriss's learning system for rapid skill acquisition. It consists of four steps: Deconstruction (breaking down a skill into the bare minimum learnable components), Selection (identifying which 20% of components give 80% of desired outcomes using the Pareto principle), Sequencing (determining the optimal order to learn units to maximize outcomes and avoid failure), and Stakes (creating consequences to push past difficulties and guarantee completion). This systematic approach makes learning more efficient by focusing on high-impact elements first.
