    There’s this quote by Howard Gardner: "You learn at your best when you have something you care about and can get pleasure in being engaged in."
    This is basically the principle for anyone engaged in a self-learning routine. Having a lack of interest in certain topics may be less deterrent for you if you are studying in some kind of institution - despite the lack of engagement in your classes, you end up studying because you need to pass in order to get your diploma.
    When you’re self-studying, maybe there isn’t any kind of diploma or grade waiting for you at the end of the line - especially if you’re studying for entertainment and not because you’re going to self-apply for some kind of exam or test.

    1. The learning purpose
    2. Have a goal
    3. Break the final goal into smaller goals
    4. Have an accountability system (tell friends and family about the endeavour, checkbox system)
    5. Learn more about self-learning (specific to the knowledge you want to learn )
    6. Consistency is key (build a schedule and keep to it)
    7. Find help and share (Find a community for better engagement and communications of tips )
    8. Build a knowledge database (to document your progress and info)
    9. Build strong foundation (review your basics regularly )
    10. Don't hesitate to go long term ( always find harder and new topics to learn, be progressive )
    11. Be skeptical ( question about the info you received to ensure accuracy of info)
    12. Make learning into entertainment

    Here's something I found really helpful not only for self directed learning, but for habit consistency in general.
    Sometimes you run out of motivation and you don't want to learn anything. You need to prepare for those times. Find a topic or a task that's so easy (either because it's fun or effortless) that you can do for the time you don't feel like it so that you don't break your streak.
    I found that one from the writer of Atomic Habits (can't remember his name).
    Anyway, solid tips. Thank you for the video!

      so there's this app called DUOLIINGO where we first have to do a little self quiz and then it makes a practice plan for us. I bought some Japanese Learning books, watched random vids on YT(about the topics which I was learning at duo lingo) and I have some students in my school who had their 3rd language as Japanese(unfortunately my parents enrolled me in sanskrit) so I asked the Japanese Language teacher and the students to interact with me in Japanese and ofc watched a lot of japanese shows and movies and anime

      If you haven't already, find a few books or corse outlines and look at the topics covered (contents page, prospectus etc) it should give you a general guideline of what you need to cover, cross reference a few so you know you're getting the most topics as possible to choose from.

    I'm a highschool dropout but recently i really want to study history and politics, so i'm going back to basics and it's really fun. I'm 30 and i'm not surprised i decided to quite school, the way they teach kids is definitely not adapted for me... Looking at the program, i know the subjects are super interesting but they make it so boring and complicated it's oh so frustrating ! So i have to make everything from scratch, as you said in the video it makes you 100% active in learning, and I make my own lessons with many different sources (but always based on the national programme - and btw in 15 years words have changed A LOT) so it is more fun simple logic and digest ! I think i really missed my vocation XD Thanks for the tips !

    Why what? You tell me.
    Have a goal
    Draw a path
    Walk that path

      Parents have a tendency to view life from a lens of “practicality”, which often just means from their own experiences of not following through on their childhood /early adulthood dreams. With CZcams, the internet, and the library you can learn a lot even without their support! Also, you may even be able to get into your local university’s law school library even if you aren’t a student.

      Betsyy put in your work and show them you care about it and are willing to do everything in your power to do it. Parents want what's best for their children and want to make sure that the path you choose is certain and hurdle free. But they do this out of love so since you're young you have more time which can be utilised to show them that it makes you happy and it's your purpose. They will surely come around it and support you sooner or later. Never be discouraged and believe in yourself. You become what you believe in.

      School and videos like this aren’t mutually exclusive nor in competition with one another.
