Thanks for joining Treehouse, and
continuing your lifelong learning journey.

00:00:04,830 --> 00:00:08,200
If you're like me, you've got a lot
of things going on in your life, and

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,370
it can be difficult to
find the time to study.

4
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:15,880
To learn most successfully,
we recommend making learning a habit,

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,820
here are three tips to help you
make learning a part of your life.

6
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:21,990
Spread your learning over the week.

7
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:27,500
Trying to cram six hours of study, in on
a Sunday afternoon isn't always easy,

8
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:30,600
and it isn't very effective either.

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,120
Research shows that learning
more frequently, but for

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,150
less time is better than cramming
your studies into one long session.

11
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:40,950
To be more successful, spread out
your learning time over the week,

12
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:46,680
the more often the better, but
three times in a week is great.

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,350
Set a weekly schedule.

14
00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:51,860
Schedule at least three time
in the next week for learning,

15
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:56,540
it doesn't have to be a lot of time,
15 to 30 minutes as session is reasonable,

16
00:00:56,540 --> 00:01:00,760
spending an hour is great, but
don't burn yourself out, you are creating

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,967
a lifetime commitment to learning,
which is a marathon not a sprint.

18
00:01:04,967 --> 00:01:07,770
Pause this video, open your calendar, and

19
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:12,050
schedule this week's learning now,
make it a habit.

20
00:01:12,050 --> 00:01:14,140
Once you've set aside the time to learn,

21
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:18,605
stick to your schedule, the more you make
learning a routine part of your life,

22
00:01:18,605 --> 00:01:22,835
the easier it will become, and
the more natural it will feel.

23
00:01:22,835 --> 00:01:26,045
Creating a learning habit
is only the first step

24
00:01:26,045 --> 00:01:27,735
towards becoming a lifelong learner.
