Theories can be dry!

Succesion of facts can be hard to digest.


Now, a good way to remember facts is to see these facts into action.


In other terms, turn a theory into a practical expression of that theory.


Make it practical! practice that theory rather than focusing on the theoretical fact itself.

That's one major strategy that can radically shift the pleasure you have with any topic.

Some authors write in a super dry way and have no idea how to transmit what they know in an exciting way.

They will overlaod you with irrelevant information and flood you with detailed facts without giving your structure or the full picture.

If you take notes, rather than simply writing one fact after the other, put the name of the topic in the centre and from that center radiate facts out.

Ad colours to highlight what really matters.

Use short concepts rather tha full explanatory sentences.

This is what will digest any topic for you!

For every topic, you need to identify the core key concepts that represent the foundation for that topic.

Knoweledge is not a cloud of uncoherent information.

If you structure a specfic topic and oversee the way it is REALLY organized, then it makes it possible to digest.

Not every piece of information has the same value, right?

Some facts are totally central, while other elements might be really secondary or even irrelevant.

Rather than having a linear succession of facts, work with mind maps to organize your knowledge

Studying smart means that the strategies you design are the best you can come up with.

You need to understand how your mind works.

Your mind needs rest and breaks.

It needs shifts and variation, otherwise it gets bored.

It needs small chunks of information it can easily digest

Aiming too high IS a mistake!

Why? Because too much discipline actually kills the fun and excitement you might have about a topic.

Most topics have something interesting about them.

It simply depends on the angle or how you approach it.

Too much discipline requires too much will power and will power is something you can run off.

Instead, choose a study rhythm you can easily maintain without major effort.

That's the ideal goal!

I know... Sometimes you are pressured by time and you need to boost your productivity and study long hours.

But guess what? Usually, that's something you can predict, so plan ahead.

If you start early on a topic the mind sets associated with it are integrated in your mind progressively.

Give yourself space and time

Rhythm means that you shifts activities frequently + take many short breaks.

The ideal study cicle can be around one hour.

After one hour, stand up, stretch your legs, get a snack - Take a 5 to 10 min break and come back.

You can do some stretches, push ups or light jogging.

Anything that clears your mind and energizes your body is good.

Yes!

Absolutely!

This is a battle and what you want to conquer are skills and knowedge!

Now, of course, you mind can resits change.

The way to win this is to give rhythm to your study time + Don't over discipline yourself

If I ask you:

"How productive was your day?"

You can come up with the exact answer.

Really, estimate your daily productivity level between 0% and 100%

If you don't score as high as you would like, ask yourself:

"What would raise your prodcivity level from x% to 100%"

Then, do something about it!

It is not just about blindly rushing into it!

You need to strategize your steps and come up with a plan of action you can easily implement.

Here we go!
