1. In 5 steps of effective learning
Among the many words of wisdom shared by my junior high school principal, I will never forget
when he told our parents; their most important task during our first year or two at school is to
teach us to learn. Of course, at the age of six or seven, I let this slip by my ear, considering that it
wasn’t actually meant for me. As a graduate, I understood how grateful I should be for learning
to stick to deadlines, organize everything, forget nothing, and study efficiently. It is very
important to develop one’s own habits, which works for some people, with the help of which you
reap the laurels one after the other, but it is not certain that it will work for us.
1. The first and perhaps most important thing about learning is to learn to enjoy it and
appreciate our successes. Learning is a defining part of our lives, most of us spend at least
12 years with it during our lives, although it is definitely worth mentioning the almost
commonplace but all the more true proverb that “a good priest studies until he dies”.
2. Time passes, it waits for no one. This is precisely why it is indescribably essential that we
learn to assign. It’s worth writing a list of our tasks, so when we’re done with one, we can
cross out and color in the given line. With this method, we can encourage and motivate
ourselves to get things done as quickly as possible. Last but not least, nothing will be left
behind, and it is much easier to allocate our time if we can see what awaits us at the same
time. Many people make the mistake of putting things off until the last minute. And the
following proverb is related to this: “What you can do today, don’t put it off until
tomorrow”! Better do everything first to be “free”. If you know something will take
longer or you have to learn a topic that is more difficult for you, share it! It is worth
including 2-3 “unplanned” rest days in the learning process; it may happen that we miss
something before or our brain is not able to absorb new information.
Many people don’t even use a paper-based calendar anymore, preferring the phone version. If we
approach it in the way that it is always at hand, it is much easier to plan in advance, if all events
and dates can be “booked” months in advance, but it is definitely worth buying a desktop
calendar. In this way, we can concentrate on the given week, it is impossible to lose sight of it.
3. Don’t make it too hot in the room where you study! I also love good heat in winter, but
the body quickly gets used to the potentially even higher temperature, and we will slowly
get cold again. Many of you have probably already experienced that the heat makes you
sleepy, reduces the ability to concentrate, and what everyone has already felt: after a
while it “suffocates”, you feel like you can’t get enough air. Make sure to ventilate often,
and try to study in natural light. A pleasant temperature for studying is around 20-21 C°.
4. The desk is always ruled by order! Of course, it happens to everyone that they go to sleep
leaving all the books and notebooks where they learned from, but it is worth making it a
habit to pack them up on the table. Let’s try to keep as few papers that have already been
written/evaluated exams and papers issued by teachers on our desks as possible. This will
make everything more transparent. It is advisable to keep only the most important
stationery on the table, to prepare only the accessories of the subject to be studied at the
moment, so it is more difficult to get distracted.
2. It’s worth “tagging” our accounts, so we’ll always know where to look when we’re looking for
something. From time to time I also include a selection; it is surprising how many unnecessary
things can accumulate even in just one year.
5. Environmental change is important! Of course, I don’t want to say that you should move
from your desk to under a warm blanket, but it is recommended to do a test in the field of
learning in different rooms of the apartment/house. In this way, our brain will be able to
associate the material to be recalled with the environment, and it also brings a little
variety to our lives. Yes, even when it comes to studying.
Knowledge is one of those things in life that will never be taken away from you, not a single
minute invested in it will be wasted, it will definitely pay off!
