How to keep studying every day*

Thread Content

Everyone has their own learning goals, and many people have also created a detailed learning plan. But few people stick to their study plans. Usually, at the beginning, one is able to keep studying every day*. After persisting for a while, various things will arise, and then each day will turn into two or three days, or even longer; gradually, one will realize that they have given up on their learning plan. You’ll find that everyone encounters such things, including myself. And the reasons for giving up are always varied; as a saying goes, if you don’t want to do something, you will surely find an excuse. If you haven’t read this story, I recommend giving it a look. 　　The best way to keep learning every day is to turn learning into a habit. I once read in a book the conclusion of a behavioral science study: In a person’s daily behavior, only about 5% is non-*inertial, while the remaining 95% of behaviors are *inertial. After spending some time turning your study plan into a habit, you will find that you are getting closer and closer to your goal. 　　You may have heard that a new *habit can be formed in about 21 days, but this is only an approximate figure. But this cycle varies depending on different individuals and habits, ranging from a few days to several months. No matter how long this cycle lasts, it generally goes through three stages: The first stage: The characteristic of this stage is \"intentional and unnatural\". It feels a bit unnatural and uncomfortable to need to constantly remind oneself to change. 　　Phase 2: The characteristic of this phase is “intentional, natural”. You already feel more natural and comfortable, but if you’re not careful, you might revert to your old habits. Because one still needs to deliberately remind oneself to change. 　　Stage 3: The characteristic of this stage is “unintentional, natural”; in fact, this is *habit. This stage is called the “*inertia stabilization period”. Once you reach this stage, you have completed your self-transformation; this *habit has become an integral part of your life, and it will naturally continue to ‘serve’ you. 　　The following suggestions can help you develop the habit better: 1. Set a moderate amount of time each day, and find a level that suits your capabilities. You need to adjust your daily study plan according to your actual situation. If you have never studied for more than an hour at a time before, don’t set a study plan that requires you to study for 2 or 3 hours per day. You can change it to studying for half an hour or an hour per day. Breaking down another half hour or an hour of study time into sessions of 10 or 20 minutes each makes it easier to keep at it every day. 　　2. Put the daily study plan first. You can get up 10 minutes or half an hour earlier every morning to work on your study plan. Try to make your daily study plan the first thing you do. You can make full use of the morning time to carry out your study plan. 　　3. Make full use of spare time to carry out your plans. Sometimes you find yourself too busy to set aside enough time to study*. At this point, you can learn to* use short periods of time to carry out your plans. Things like the time spent commuting by vehicle, lunch breaks, waiting in lines, and other short periods of time.
