What participants say about XFL bootcamp

“The bootcamp was all about cultivating discipline and focus. I learnt how to incorporate a range of learning strategies to accomplish goals. I have seen a remarkable change in my learning skills, such as learning the subject with maximum attention in one hour rather than four hours. I have taught pomodoro technique to my kids as well. I will recommend this to anyone who has the curiosity to learn something new and to achieve career and knowledge growth goals”

Rojar Suseelan

Senior Manager, IT
InApp Technologies

“After being in the industry for 20 years, I was looking to upskill to stay relevant. I enrolled in many online courses but was not able to complete them. Then, I enrolled for the Learning Bootcamp. Everything is conducted with clockwork precision. I was able to learn simple yet powerful techniques that helped me achieve significant progress in my learning journey. I’ll be enrolling in other bootcamps to build good habits and realize my goals. This is a no BS course which is truly life-changing and I highly recommend it.”

“In my profession, I have to keep up-to-date with the latest technologies. I’d buy many courses but never finish any. I joined the learning bootcamp expecting to build a learning habit and I achieved more than that. I learnt in one month in this bootcamp, what I haven’t done in the last 3 years. I also learned “how to learn” properly. During this bootcamp what I realized is we can watch a lot of videos on YouTube but when we learn as a community and strive for something as a community, it helps a lot more.”

Boost your learning productivity

We help you beat procrastination and complete your courses in a timebound manner.

A routine that works even for busy people

Our simple learning routine helps you make consistent progress every week. You commit to just 3 weekdays + Saturday to learn. You’re free to pick the weekdays that you want to. The only thing we ask of you is to show up. You will make steady progress week after week, at the optimum pace for you. Busy-ness need not block your personal growth any longer.

Positive social pressure and accountability to enforce behaviour

You abandoned your previous learning attempts because there were no immediate consequences when you stopped. Through the sense of accountability that you feel towards your peer group and the commitment you made to our team, you feel a positive pressure to show up. When you show up, learning automatically happens.

Strong push to break procrastination from Day 1

We start with a strong push to break the inertia and take action right from the first day. To prevent you from procrastinating again, we get you to commit to a learning plan. For many of our participants, that strong initial trigger helps them break the spell and then push ahead on that momentum. If you slow down, our team immediately steps in to course-correct.

Take focused learning to the next level

Every learning session starts with a short activity to channel focus and discipline for the session. We also show you how to unlock learning efficacy through scientific learning techniques, which we also encourage you to practise during the sessions. We insist on certain non-negotiable requirements — e.g, during the study session task-switching is banned.

FAQ – Extreme Focused Learning

When does the next batch of Extreme Focused Learning start?

Please check Upcoming Bootcamp Schedule for more details about the next batch.

I am not in India. Can I still enroll?

Yes! The virtual co-learning sessions are conducted from 7:30-8:45 PM IST on weekdays and 6:30-8:45 PM IST on Saturdays. You may enroll if you are able to join these sessions. Please check the upcoming bootcamp schedule for more details about the next batch.

We will soon open up time slots for the US audience as well, so you can attend in your local time.

What course is covered during the bootcamp? Will I get the content?

Extreme Focused Learning Bootcamp is a self-study program designed to boost learning productivity and build the learning habit so you develop the ability to complete courses on time.

Our learners select the course that they want to complete and do self-study following a disciplined schedule that we implement. We do not give content for any course or provide teachers.

I don't have any specific course to complete. Can I still enroll?

Yes. If you have a book to read or a project/thesis to complete, this bootcamp will still be beneficial for you. As long as you have a specific important activity to complete, you may enroll in the bootcamp.

Why should I join the bootcamp when I can study on my own?

If you have the mindset and discipline to devote time consistently to study on your own, you don’t need the support of any bootcamp or program. However, consistent learning is hard especially when you are out of college, and there is no “exam” looming that motivates you to hit the books. Even with the best of intentions, 90-95% of us abandon our Coursera, Udemy, and edX courses without completing them.

In our bootcamps, we help you stick to a study schedule and develop consistency through
– a learning plan we make you prepare and commit to
– showing you your weekly progress
– stepping in when you lag behind
– providing support to course correct
– connecting you with a like-minded peer group who have similar learning goals
– providing positive pressure to show up for all study sessions
– training you in simple but powerful learning techniques which enhance learning efficiency

I am not a student. Is the learning bootcamp suitable for me?

Yes! In fact, most of our participants are working professionals who are unable to prioritize their learning and self-development over other competing professional and personal requirements.

We provide a structured positive learning environment for you which allows you to dedicate time for your learning and growth.

How does the program work? What do I have to do?

The XFL bootcamp runs as 4-week cohorts. Once you enroll in the program, we will send you detailed information and an orientation video. Watch the video before you join the first session.

We will also share the detailed timetable and other resources, once the bootcamp starts.

You will prepare a learning plan following our guidelines and commit to a weekly schedule. Mon-Fri, you will attend at least 3 days of virtual co-learning sessions from 7:30-8:45 PM IST. Of course you may attend all 5 days if you wish to. On Saturday, you must compulsorily attend the learing session from 6:30-8:45 PM IST.

You will track your daily consistency on a habit tracker. You will also interact with your peer group on a weekly meeting.

You may ask any questions that you have during our Q&A sessions, via email, or in the community (WhatsApp group and the website community).

I want to attend learning sessions on all 5 weekdays instead of just 3 days. Do you allow that?

Yes. You are welcome to join all 5 weekdays of learning sessions to make faster progress on your learning goals.

Are all sessions compulsory? What if I miss a session?

You must enroll for the program only if you have a conducive schedule. The only non-negotiable requirement that we have for the program is that you show up on the days that you have committed to.

You must pick at least 3 days from Mon-Fri to attend the learning session from 7:30 PM – 8:45 PM IST. Saturday sessions from 6:30 PM – 8:45 PM are compulsory to attend.

If you are unable to attend a session due to some genuine emergency, please let us know and we will excuse you for that day.
