Say you’re trying to learn a new programming language then just write one program each day in the beginning.
Say you’re trying to improve your English Grammar then try learning only four grammar rules every day.
Say you're trying to learn a massive software then try learning only four features every day.
This trick worked for me so well that I learned not only how to use Photoshop but also Final Cut Pro in a few months without having much stress. The same way I worked on my English grammar and vocabulary. I realised a long time ago that just by showing up every day you can learn almost anything.

Most people try to learn everything on their first day and when they don’t get it, they doubt their intelligence. The reality is brain needs time to process things so intensity won’t get you much farther in life.
Just focus for only 10 to 15 minutes on the task for the first few days and gradually increase your focus time to 20 to 30 minutes

Everyone feels resistance in the beginning. Everyone goes through this, so don’t worry, you’re doing great. always be compassionate towards yourself.
Don't be like "You're so stupid, you can't do anything."
Instead, Affirm yourself by saying "I enjoy my current position while I develop skills for the next phase of my life."
Say this Mantra in your head if you ever feel discouraged “ I can, I will, watch me.”

When you study you’re serious, but when you learn you’re sincere, not serious, you invite some play into the process. Most people take learning so seriously they forget that it's supposed to be fun.
Ask a simple question to yourself
"How can I make it more fun?"
Like if you are trying to memorize something then try making a song out of it.
If you're trying to memorize English vocabulary then using mnemonics is great way to make it fun.

Acknowledge that your brain exaggerates a lot of the time but when you start you realise it was not as hard as you were making it in your head. If we would listen to our brain all the time we would be paralysed with fear.
