How Watchmaking is the Shortcut to Learning Anything

OVERVIEW: Before I stepped away a year ago (February 2021), I was out to prove for my next upcoming book that the PRINCIPLES of watchmaking extends far beyond creating and repairing watches. I was out to prove that it could be applicable to everything we do in life. I was trying to prove that these principles could be used in everyday life to simplify, breakdown, and learn anything. It was a rather bold claim when I first put it out. As it should be. I essentially came out and said that I found a blueprint to excel in anything. I wasn’t born talented or with special genetics. I sucked in school initially since I didn’t consciously know about the watchmaking principles until later on in life. I sucked in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu prior because I was disorganized without a clear set of thinking. I never ran more than a mile in my life let alone a marathon prior to 2021 because I had no idea how to break things down and work towards a simplified step-by-step process. I did however progress through all of that using the principles of watchmaking that I have now organized. Would I call all of this a success? I think I will. Some of you will have some negative things to say. I’m sure of it. To make it clear, I don’t think it’s not a matter of grit or pig headed determination. I felt positive and in control that each step I took was calculated because of how I went about simplifying and breaking everything down to key components.
