    The parts that are more neurological are inspired by her work.

    I’ m a teacher and ı think people tend to procrastinate the things they wanna make or learn because of they think if they dont spend their max effort and time there will be nothing meaningful. For exp if a student wanna learn a lesson thinks like I need to study this subject/lesson for hours, but studying for hours is boring or I dont need enough time for it today, lets try it the other day. And the other day will be just the same. U need to understand that if u dont do anything about something u ll get nothing. If u do whatever u wanna do for maybe a minute, maybe 10, maybe 1 hour doesnt matter it will progress. So u wanna learn chem u can start with 10 min. study every day or every weekend as u wish, finally after a few months u definitely have knowledge about chem. We always think like if i make many hours effort suddenly we will be perfect on it. But reality is if u spent efforts, even tiny efforts like baby steps u will learn how to walk

      Modivation and procrastination still to this day are things I struggle with but not because I don’t want to put the max effort in school for me the problem was ADHD where I could learn Morse code in a week (which I have done ( this is called hyper focus for those with ADHD) yet not be able to do one homework assignment without having a breakdown so most of these tips teachers gave me to “just try” and not be so called “lazy” never rlly worked, keep in mind I still took medication for this yet it wouldn’t helped fully and that’s not ever possible for it too, and I don’t think many ppl keep in mind how many ppl have disorders like this that can also cause these problems :)

  • @justyouraveragehumanbeing7411

    the taking breaks thing is VERY important. When learning anything, even a sport or something mostly physical, the thing that gets worked up the most is your brain.
    Oh, you wanna learn bass? Well guess what, your fingers are not going to be your main problem, your brain is. Take breaks, sleep, and when you feel like you can't play right or learn anything for the day, leave it at that. You've reached your limit, and you literally can NOT go over it

      Yet another strategy I use is (after getting started doing your objectives) is breaking down the time I work an hour into 45 minutes of work and a 15 minute break, but I set a 15 minute timer for all of it. This let's me know how much work I an achieve and how much time could be wasting, allowing me to optimize my time spent and also challenge myself to work more efficient or faster. This depends on the hobby though of course.

    Schools should be set up so that we can explore our interests early and then begin learning them somewhere in our teens. Why devote 12 years of your life to that when you could spend 6 years being introduced to a ton of different cool stuff and then another 6 to narrowing down your options.

    @user-nt4sl5hp5m Před 4 lety +303

    Notes for anybody who needs to review:
    1. Stop procrastinating, just start doing it. Do it now. The biggest hurdle is putting it off. When you start doing it, there'll be a point when you'll get frustrated because there's no instant reward/gratification, so you'll get distracted and put it off again. To solve this, just start doing it again. Long term satisfaction is worth more than the short term. Take initiative.
    2. It takes time to remember things. You can't soak it up everything right away. Learning is about repetition. Don't try to learn everything about a subject all at once. You can focus on certain areas you're really curious about first. For example, you don't have to follow an instructional book in chronological order you can focus on the pages you need now, and then when you come back to the same pages it'll be a refresher. Additionally, sleep lots and exercise. Interact socially with other people. Give yourself a break and let your brain rest. It'll prevent yourself from burning out, improve your mood and strengthen your motivation to continue learning.
    3. You have to try it out and apply what you're learning by yourself. Practice what you've learned. Your brain has 2 modes of thinking. The focused mode (logical/left-brain) and the diffused mode (creative/right-brain). You can shift between these 2 modes. When you're learning something new, eliminate all distractions so you have total concentration. This'll increase the efficiency of your memory. When you're just reviewing something, you can listen to music or videos in the background. You can let your mind wander because you're just reinforcing what you've already learned.
    4. It will get more difficult as you continue learning something. But it's alright, that feeling is normal. Try to understand the main ideas and not get stuck in the details. Your brain will eventually connect with the more complicated things.
    5. Study, review and test yourself on what you've learned. However, don't just study one area. Go back and forth between different things so you give yourself space to repeat and process these things you're learning.
    6. It takes time. It's a process. It can be stressful. Learning something new is daunting and that's why most people don't do it and procrastinate. But understand that you don't have to know everything right away. Start off with small steps. Do it gradually and over time you'll be surprised at how much you've learned.

      Haha, I was always told as a kid that I was special and unique, that I was smart. Because of that I never studied. I never had to. I hear it once, I do it once, I ace it. That's how it always was. Imagine my surprise when I don't understand something right away. I genuinely thought something was wrong with me. It was so hard to get into studying, since I never needed it before. I'm now able to study, but if I don't show talent, or an aptitude for something right away, I get frustrated and drop it. I'm still working on that. Tbh, I wish I was never told that as a kid, it ended up being one hell of a handicap for me.

      In school, I was a prodigy. I paid so much attention to my teachers that I never actually studied till I got into engineering. In uni I came across this problem you are talking about, and god it was hard. I skipped classes because I had the freedom to do so, and shit came right after, because I had no idea of what discipline and being organised was. It took me two whole years to get on track with all of this.

    I grew up as a smart kid, never really trying to do things, just learning naturally and being praised for that. Then I grew up and started noticing that I have a really hard time learning things, specially because I never learnt how to, in fact, try. Nowadays I get both angry and sad with myself for being so bad at everything, specially at learning, and I also started dropping everything midway or never starting something new. My English is my better example, I started learning when I was 8 and after a few years struggling with it I stopped learning, now I have a very bad pronounce, a really strong accent and a terrible grammar, basically, a very broken English.
    I'm trying to cope with my expectations and trying to lower them, I'm also trying to throw the idea that being bad at something or trying hard is the same as a failure and that this will make my parents less proud of me, what, in fact, happens.

      Yesss. I know this feeling. Growing up as "the smart kid", then growing up and falling flat. Realizing you picked up everything as a kid but never actually excelled at anything. Lacking long term ambition and discipline.
      Now you have this horrible fear of failure. Fear of starting. Fear of trying. Fear you won't live up to being the smart kid you were supposed to.
      It hurts. It's like a trap.

      This.... I grew up us a smart kid and through middle school excelled just like that.At high School and college I became average but could not figure out what was happening. I always used to get frustrated at college and think I am not smart enough.Being smart as a kid made me think that discomfort when learning is a sign of failure not progress. I am 28 and have realized this now that there are ways with which we learn and how we should be retaining concepts and internalize them before moving on to complex things. Old habits die hard and I need to do a lot of change . I just hope I made the right realization and I have enough time to turn my life around.

Depois que você toma a atitude e começa, tudo fica mais fácil. A dor para. E conforme você for fazendo as coisas, todo dia, você vai se disciplinar. Não é impossível. Você ainda consegue.
