Remember why it was that it was easier to learn new things when you were younger, yes there is a certain biology for it. (Side note: I'm pretty sure I heard Andrew Huberman talk about this and he recommended Choline as a supplement to help get your levels to similar to someone younger, no idea how correct this is, i've made a note to read more into it myself) But I would say, it is that sense of wonder and imagination that you lose when you are older, you've seen stuff, even interesting stuff becomes 'oh just another interesting thing, much like this other thing i saw before'. What you need to do is optimise things for novelty, interest, excitement and challenge rather than for outcome. As you get older, you likely have things you want, these will become goals, but these will be based on what you already know and your supposed path to them will also be best on your current knowledge. The problem is, that won't even get you to anywhere interesting, it might not even get you to that 'goal' because the world is way more complex than you think and you begin to think you know as you get set in your ways. When you did interesting things, when you learned the most, it was when you didn't know any better, you didn't know what you were doing, you need to get rid of that idea that you know, you need to accept you don't get out of your comfort zone and do things, try things, optimise for that novelty rather than an outcome and you might find something interesting and that is where you will learn the most. If you really want to learn, change your goal from achieving things and outcomes, to seeking out novelty, things that interesting/excite you and anything that is a little bit challenging for you. It will put you back in that space again, or at least as much as you can be. I found this talk interesting on this subject: It talks about lessons learned from AI and machine learning that show this to be a valid path. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXQPL9GooyI&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXQPL9GooyI&t=1s
