    If you're like me, you've got a lot of things going on in your life, and 0:04
    it can be difficult to find the time to study. 0:08
    To learn most successfully, we recommend making learning a habit, 0:11
    here are three tips to help you make learning a part of your life. 0:15
    Spread your learning over the week. 0:19
    Trying to cram six hours of study, in on a Sunday afternoon isn't always easy, 0:21
    and it isn't very effective either. 0:27
    Research shows that learning more frequently, but for 0:30
    less time is better than cramming your studies into one long session. 0:33
    To be more successful, spread out your learning time over the week, 0:38
    the more often the better, but three times in a week is great. 0:42
    Set a weekly schedule. 0:46
    Schedule at least three time in the next week for learning, 0:48
    it doesn't have to be a lot of time, 15 to 30 minutes as session is reasonable, 0:51
    spending an hour is great, but don't burn yourself out, you are creating 0:56
    a lifetime commitment to learning, which is a marathon not a sprint. 1:00
    Pause this video, open your calendar, and 1:04
    schedule this week's learning now, make it a habit. 1:07
    Once you've set aside the time to learn, 1:12
    stick to your schedule, the more you make learning a routine part of your life, 1:14
    the easier it will become, and the more natural it will feel. 1:18
    Creating a learning habit is only the first step 1:22
    towards becoming a lifelong learner. 1:26
