Learning Tip #5

In this video-blog post, I wanted to discuss with you one more studying technique called Hard Start Technique. Here’s a simple summary of this technique in easy steps:

1. Write down all the tasks you want to focus on.(Watch Learning Tip #3 to find out more about the focused mode).

2. Start with the most difficult task and focus on it until you feel stuck.

3. Take a break and focus on the easiest task from your list.  (Watch Learning Tip #3 to find out more about the diffuse mode). 

4. Come back to the most difficult task!

The basic idea is that you work on a task for a few minutes. As soon as you start doing the task, you’re very likely to continue working for longer than planned.

Overall, the hard start technique is a simple but powerful strategy to overcome procrastination and increase productivity in your studies. Give it a try next time you find yourself procrastinating on your study tasks!

Have you ever tried this technique? if so, was it helpful?

Have fun practicing! See you in my class!
