Tips that make my study better
#1 Don’t plan too much. Set a time and an impulse. The moment I already know what i have to do today, I set a time and start doing just anything.
I used to spent so much time planning what to study, how to study, where to begin, that didn’t actually done meaningful study, at best I would get super organised about what I should have done. So what a terrible method. Because of that, I started listing in my mind during the course of the day, so I could minimize the time I spend thinking what’s the next thing I should do when I get home.
That works a little better, I go home and grab the first thing in the list, for example differential equations. But still gets me some time thinking “soo... i should start here, and then do that and that. Let me take some notes first...”
What really makes me do something, is actually doing something. I know, that definitely sounds redundant, but it isn’t. I go straight foward to exercises and little by little filling the gaps, even if I’m totally lost and don’t know where to begin, just look for a already solved exercise. Helps if I start doing some of the easy ones, just to get in the rhythm and put and end to procastination.
Doing only these 2 things save me so much time and helps with my procastination. First I only have to put in mind my subject priorities, and then schedule a time. As soon as that time come, don’t think. Open that book and do any exercise about that subject, so as you go deeper in that study session you automatically will flow to the important points that have to be studied even if its the first study session about that subject.
The most important thing is to start, and so is the most difficult to me, but as I program my mind to instantly start without thinking, everything flows. A time and an impulse.
