In this fast moving world, everyone dreams of acquiring the best skill set....but the only hurdle is "limited time", ie only 24hrs a day. So the goal is to "learn the most, in least amount of time".

How To Become A Quick Learner?

Before setting the goal, make it a point that you have your targets set right. Take up one skill/ idea at a time that you wish to persue....and make sure you are dedicated enough.

Have A Focused Approach 

This might sound orthodox, but trust me journaling always works! It's the best way to see where you stand when you learn new things. You would be literally documenting your journey when you go for every new skill quest.This will make you feel even more motivated.

Journaling

Doing more work in less time can be achieved only when you conquer the "time stone".Time stone here means, "The ability to make the most of every hour in the day"

Time Stone

Our brain works on the most basic principle- "frequency".The more you repeat a task, the better you will get at it.The only difference among each one of us is the number of times you gotta repeat (frequency) to attain a position near perfection.Eg: I need atleast 5 revisions to get 90% score, but my friend can get 95% in just 3 revisions.

Repeat 

This point can be debatable, but I still believe that becoming a perfectionist wastes time.Eg: I try to organise my desk whenever I leave home. [Here, skill is to be better at organising stuff] But my cat always disturbs it anyways. In such a case I shouldn't organise the desk (on a larger scale) unless the reason to organise is convincing enough....like if guests are gonna visit.😅Note: This is just an opinion, it can tend to differ.

Being Perfect Is An Illusion 

1. Avoid comparing coz you also have something that they don't ;) instead try being a better version of yourself.2. Action speak louder than words.3. Quality sleep can be a game changer.4. Know what you wanna be in life and spend every minute to get that.5. Surround yourself with people who appreciate and critically evaluate you.

How to be a Quick Learner?

Be it your parents, friends, customers or even your boss...."covincing" has always played a major role. I have laid 5 tips for convincing (which goes beyond smart talks) :

How To Be A Better Convincer?

"It's easier to be a speaker than to be a good listener."Forget what u wanna say and focus on the other person's points. Make them feel important.Once they are convinced you have listened to them...the chances are high that you would be given attention.

1. Know the Other Side 

When you place your points, make sure you show it like a win-win situation and not a win-lose situation.

2. Try Negotiating

Before the talk....try knowing the traits of the party you are convincing. This will help you know them better. The past behaviors may repeat. Pitch accordingly.

3. Do Your Homework Thoroughly

Confidence is the game changer. They must be assured of no future regret after being convinced.

4. Confidence Is The Key

Today's actions build tomorrow's trust. This can impact the convincing in future.

5. Prepare For The Future

How to Convince Anyone?

Disclaimer: Nothing can substitute Hard Work, except for Smartwork.(There are no motivativations to wait for last minute study)

How To Pass An Exam, You Never Studied For?

There is no way the examiner knows that you haven't studied. This mindset will motivate you to stay positive.

The Examiner Is Unaware

These are gonna be the benchmark of your prime focus. They will give you the examiner's historical point of view, marking style and how you are expected to answer

Past papers 

You won't tend to leave anything on option if you keep syllabus as your base. Even if you feel like leaving certain topic, atleast know it's meaning and relevance for the exam.

Syllabus Coverage

Elimination is they key! Try to eliminate studying topics you can write, without studying, the rest needs atleast a summarized reading.

Eliminate Topics

You are a day before the exam and can't go through everything. Instead try looking at summaries that can help you in selective study but vast coverage. Dive deep only into those topics that are examiner's favorite (as per past papers).

Grab the Material ,Thoughtfully

"Sometimes a solution lies at the end of your comfort zone."A quick discussion of your situation with someone who has cleared the test might actually help you cope. Atleast it's better than sitting ideal.

Consult A Senior

1. Use a easy to hard approach while studying and also in the paper.2. Don't multitask 3. Move on if you get stuck on a topic. Do that topic at the end.4. Attempt 100% paper5. Stay away from people that tend to waste your time....these last minutes do count

I recently passed a test by studying last minute, but it doesn't always work coz hard work has no substitutes.

Mind Your Thoughts When You Are Alone

When it comes to knowing ourselves, we usually tend to avoid things that don't please us. But the true winners are the ones who accept the reality.The day you accept that your thoughts are unhealthy, is the day you win at controlling your mind

Identifying Is Half Way Achieving

When it comes to our mind....we can literally think anything. The way we create the flow of thoughts decides who we choose to be. Suppose ,I fail a test ....then, it's upon me what I choose.....either I blame the faculty for not teaching well or I see how I can improve.

Evaluate Yourself

There are endless triggers that you may come across that decides your thoughts. This is exactly where you have to work.For eg: I tend to think more about failing at a test(thought) when I waste a day(trigger).In that case I should stop regretting the past and focus on the time that I have left in the day."In short every bad thought has an equal and opposite good thought"....u have to identify that.Ps. Why do I sound like Newton?😂

See What Works For You

I actually hated the idea of meditation... as it felt a waste of time to just sit in one place and overthink about the day.Then I got to know that I was doing it all wrongXD.Meditation is the process when you go to that level in your mind where u are not thinking anything. I know, it sounds easy but is too hard to achieve.

Meditation

Haste makes waste.Everyone is unique. Embrace your uniqueness and give yourself time to change. One step at a time and that will make all the difference ❤️

Take It Slow

Gloomy thoughts had become a part of my lifestyle....if I can overcome them....so can you!

How can I improve my thoughts?

It is the most important time spent to not only magnify the positive effect on the day but also improve the productivity

Break Time

A day is spent well when our body is given enough justice.Moving our eyes, drinking a sip of water , stretching a bit,going for a walk or just sitting still without any thoughts in mind can have an a mega impact on reboosting focus and mindset.

Don't Underestimate Break Time

Phone has become necessity for a living. We can't live without it, but we can control its usage."DON'T LET IT CONTROL YOU."

When it comes to spending the break time...it's a matter of choice. And the choices that we make decide our future.It's upon us to open inst@gr@m/ deepstash...XDSo let's choose for the best ;)

It's a Matter Of Choice

When break time includes a combination of mindful stuffs and things you love....it feels like a rewarding break time.This has potential to uplift the post-break time enthusiasm.

Make Break Times Interesting

We are the governerns of our own time. The decisions we make today have a solid impact on the life we deserve. If the break time is extended due to some reason....it's totally upon us- whether we simply go on a guilt trip or actually get back to business.The faster we decide to get back on track....the better governers of our time we become.

The Art Of Returning Back From Break

I tend to use breaks carelessly and feel guilty later on....this write-up is kinda reminder for me...

How to Use Break Time

Just imagine you have an exam due tomorrow. Will you actually waste time making a timetable....or just cutoff the checklist as per priorities?You'll obviously try to squeeze as much as coverage of all the topics in least possible time.Making a timetable is a luxury for the ones who have lots of "money"....I mean "TIME".

Making Timetable Is A Luxury

When it comes to studying or work, we usually tend to see how many actual hours we have spend on the task....but this approach has such a big fault like normal loss of time is never deducted.Hence the correct approach lies in counting number of tasks/ amount of work actually accomplished.

Count Productivity, Not Hours

Productivity is a relative concept. The major factors affecting it include mindset, willingness, focus, etc. The technique to increase it lies in doing more by spending less time without compromising effectiveness.It is an art that has to be learnt over time.

Increase Productivity

When completing your tasks there might be mannnnny things that would tend to ask for your time. Just try to build a judgment and do things that are urgent & important. Other things can wait and that is how you become distraction-free.

Distraction-free-ness

I tend to make a timetable on daily basis....but it sometimes seems a waste of time.

Maximizing Productivity: Strategies for Efficient Time Management and Focus

Procrastination does the job of not just wasting time....but demotivates one to even do it in future.It can slack one down from their goals & give them a good amount of guilt.This guilt has abilities to revieve our path towards the goal, but it deteriorates the mentality....leading to bad mental health.Time is the most valuable resource these days. Be it the social media apps or the corporate world, everyone is behind one's time.In such a space, it becomes too easy to procrastinte as it is the solution for our instant happiness...but let's see the bigger picture and try defeating this thief.
