First of all, study the purpose of learning and the methods to achieve it.

In the preparation before study, I should ask myself two questions: 1. Why should I study? The second is to ask yourself what to do? The purpose of understanding these two questions is to strengthen your determination to study and make clear your learning goals.

Specifically, I can guide myself to think by asking questions, such as: ① Why should I learn this knowledge or skill? This skill is really important to me. What's in it for me? Then dig deeper. This process is actually a process of helping yourself to build a strong motivation. (2) What problems will I encounter in my study (for example, no one teaches me, I can't persist, I am lazy, etc.). ), and then what should I do? This is to eliminate the psychological obstacles that may occur in the process of self-study, so as to prescribe the right medicine and find out the corresponding solutions.

Second, plan the available time and study in good time.

In the process of learning, most people will encounter another obstacle: the problem of time and energy. For example, I am very busy and tired at work, and I have no time and energy to study hard. So learn to plan your time and study when you are in a good mood. Everyone has different periods of good spirits every day, usually after waking up in the morning.

When using time, there should be a clear definition of time allocation. In other words, make clear what are the fixed work and rest hours (such as work and class time), what are the rest hours (such as sleeping and eating time) and what are the times you can use and control. In order to plan your time and tasks better, you should be clear about your time efficiency, that is, feel the length of time and how many things you can do in a period of time (unit time efficiency).

Third, master appropriate reading learning methods to improve learning efficiency.

In the way of self-study, reading and learning is the most common and main way. Others can read 200 pages of articles in an hour, but it will take you half a day to learn slowly, and you may be bored and unwilling to learn.

There are many reasons for the low reading efficiency: ① For example, the phenomenon of "back reading" (when you encounter information you can't understand, you go back and read it repeatedly, which seriously undermines the pace and progress of learning). A better reading method is to read it first, mark it when you don't understand it, and then study it. For example, the reading habit of "word for word" when reading, in order to improve reading efficiency, we should train to expand our visual range, take a look at a phrase, a meaning group, a sentence or even a paragraph of text, and read at different speeds according to the actual situation when reading. (3) For example, the reading foundation is poor. Much of the content in the book is new knowledge to you. Every piece of knowledge takes a long time to understand, because it is not easy to read and enter, so the efficiency is relatively low. This kind of situation is a process that everyone will go through. Just read more.

If you are learning to master a skill, it is not enough just to understand and memorize knowledge, but also to polish this skill through a lot of practice. For example, it is not enough to know the principle and training method of speed reading just now, but also to practice by yourself according to the methods learned from books (or directly with the help of "Eagle's special speed reading memory training software"), so as to gradually master the speed reading ability.

Knowing why and how to study, having a clear understanding of goals, time and yourself, and mastering the appropriate learning methods, you can make specific learning plans and arrangements.
