Thanks for joining Treehouse and
continuing your lifelong learning journey.

00:00:04,810 --> 00:00:08,190
If you're like me, you've got a lot
of things going on in your life, and

3
00:00:08,190 --> 00:00:11,320
it can be difficult to
find the time to study.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,860
To learn most successfully,
we recommend making learning a habit.

5
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:19,770
Here are three tips to help you
make learning a part of your life.

6
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,970
Spread your learning over the week.

7
00:00:21,970 --> 00:00:27,490
Trying to cram six hours of study in on
a Sunday afternoon isn't always easy,

8
00:00:27,490 --> 00:00:30,560
and it isn't very effective either.

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,100
Research shows that learning
more frequently, but for

10
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:38,090
less time, is better than cramming
your studies into one long session.

11
00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:40,970
To be most successful, spread out
your learning time over the week.

12
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:46,670
The more often, the better, but
three times in a week is great.

13
00:00:46,670 --> 00:00:48,330
Set a weekly schedule.

14
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:51,850
Schedule at least three times
in the next week for learning.

15
00:00:51,850 --> 00:00:56,500
It doesn't have to be a lot of time,15
to 30 minutes a session is reasonable.

16
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:00,030
Spending an hour is great,
but don't burn yourself out.

17
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:02,950
You are creating a lifetime
commitment to learning,

18
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:05,330
which is a marathon, not a sprint.

19
00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:10,430
Pause this video, open your calendar,
and schedule this week's learning now.

20
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:11,990
Make it a habit.

21
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:16,017
Once you've set aside the time to learn,
stick to your schedule.

22
00:01:16,017 --> 00:01:18,547
The more you make learning
a routine part of your life,

23
00:01:18,547 --> 00:01:22,817
the easier it will become, and
the more natural it will feel.

24
00:01:22,817 --> 00:01:26,027
Creating a learning habit
is only the first step

25
00:01:26,027 --> 00:01:27,747
towards becoming a lifelong learner.
