it can be difficult to find the time to study.
-

To learn most successfully, we recommend making learning a habit,
-
0:15
here are three tips to help you make learning a part of your life.
-
0:19
Spread your learning over the week.

Trying to cram six hours of study, in on a Sunday afternoon isn't always easy,
-
0:27
and it isn't very effective either.
-

Research shows that learning more frequently, but for
-
0:33
less time is better than cramming your studies into one long session.
-
0:38
To be more successful, spread out your learning time over the week,
-
0:42
the more often the better, but three times in a week is great.
-
0:46
Set a weekly schedule.
-
0:48
Schedule at least three time in the next week for learning,
-
0:51
it doesn't have to be a lot of time, 15 to 30 minutes as session is reasonable,
-
0:56
spending an hour is great, but don't burn yourself out, you are creating

a lifetime commitment to learning, which is a marathon not a sprint.

Pause this video, open your calendar, and

schedule this week's learning now, make it a habit.

Once you've set aside the time to learn,

1:14
stick to your schedule, the more you make learning a routine part of your life,
-
1:18
the easier it will become, and the more natural it will feel.
-

Creating a learning habit is only the first step

1:26
towards becoming a lifelong learner.
