Problems of anxiety when learning something
Sometimes you are excited to learn, but you still avoid getting started. You may worry about the fear of failure, feedback, or performing. If you expose yourself to the thing you find unpleasant and nothing bad happens, your fear will lessen.
Reframing is often helpful in overcoming this problem. Begin each studying session with the idea that you will find it hard.

What and How to Study

What Kinds of Practice to Do
- Mock tests and exams that are identical in style and form.
- Redo problems from assignments, textbook questions or quizzes.
- Generate your own questions or writing prompts based on the material.

Loops and drills
Many loops aren’t straightforward repetitions. You may never write the same essay twice. The loop isn't writing a particular essay, but the overall process for writing essays.
In the same way, each thing you learn may have more than one loop. Drills are smaller loops to focus on smaller parts of the bigger loop.
Designing Your Practice Loop
Step one involves figuring out what your loops are. These are the activities you repeat over and over when learning something.
Next, analyze the loop for different parts to see whether you can make improvements. It will result in faster learning.
