16 Things You Should Do To Get Better Results From Your Studies

Be aware that the things I’ve found may not be best practices for you, I am not an expert or may not be objective about all the things, keep in mind this article is also includes subjective ideas.

It was the time when I just started really studying hard in school, I was decisive about my decision and not gonna let anything be an obstacle on my way through the results I wanted.

I was gonna be successful at my lessons and believing that I started immediately spending almost all of my time without noteworthy breaks.After studying over 6 months without losing any enthusiasm on my way through my own little success story ,I just wasn’t successful at all.Even though I tried so hard and push my boundaries day in ,day out I just wasn’t.

I’d been missing something.Something important.

I started to felt exhausted and tried not to think I was an idiot or accept the truth ?

Then I got away from the bad thoughts and try to look for the answers to my questions. How could possible just working really hard not gives any result over long period of time ?

Since Then I’ve been searching for the answers and while researching I came across tons of new questions.

How Could I get results I wanted ?
What I realize after searching was amazing and kinda annoying to me.I was confused and got angry myself.How could I possible tried to do something without having a strategy? What was I expecting?

Just doing it would ever give me result that I desire ? Of Course not,so I started to look for more answers to convert my future efforts make worthy.

Here is what I’ve found.

The things I’ve been missing all the time.

1-Have a strategy

First and foremost, we you can’t just start doing something without thinking about future possibilities and have a good plan. I don’t mean spending hours on making plans but you have to have some kind of basic plan on your way through your success.

2-Have a toolbox

You can’t just start a war without weapons and other equipments you need right? So you have to have tools that can save you a lot of time.What I mean by this is like ASoftMurmur which washes all the background voices away and transforms almost every environment you are inside to a good place to study.Or applications like WunderList which enables you to keep list of information so that you don’t have to use cognitive resource to keep them and focus on only the task you’re doing.There are a lot of tools you can find amazing on the internet that can save you a lot of time.

3-Know that just because you can learn something new doesn’t mean you should !

When I study ,I really love to learn everything that is behind the scene and explore every detail of it.But doing so ,I almost always I find myself lost in a black hole that leads to nowhere but wasting all my time.

“Time is one of your greatest asset you have.”

What I realized that I almost spend 99% of my time on the very little details and not get a chance to learn whole thing.And trying to learn whole topic takes a lot of time.So Knowing that no one don’t have unlimited amount of time, so being aware of time is also matters.Don’t try to learn everything you find.Know that just because you can reach a lot of details about the topic doesn’t mean you should learn them all at once.Give yourself time to digest the things you have learned and have some articles or information backup to learn more and repeat the things you’ve learned so that you can learn the topic permanently.

4-Diversify

Ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce you to “harmony”.Harmony is essential way of learning a lot of things step by step and this saves you a lot of time and lowers cognitive loads.It doesn’t look like pretty new, does it ?Of Course it doesn’t but it is the one thing you should have in your mind.

The odds are you’ve tried to study tons of things at once and a few days later you realize that you remember nothing? Then it is time to change things.When you feel really stuck and not going forward or bored from the topic then immediately start to study another topic or lesson.It gives your brain power to work on it even when you are not studying the topic.Even though you’re now studying another topic or even not studying at all, your brain does its job so well so that if you come back to the same topic later on you will find out that you’re far more better now.

So just give your brain time to digest all the info you got.

5-Always search new techniques and tools to improve your studies

Every single day another application developer or great minds makes invaluable apps to save you time , and make you more sophisticated learner.So take advantage them.

6-Just Learning School Subjects doesn’t mean you use your time effectively

We are living in information era.Learning just school subjects and being a good student is enough to have a successful career. It is an old belief but it is still common.So Be willing to learn different things.Just like Financial Literacy.

Financial Literacy

It shouldn’t exactly the concept that we should talk about here but you should know that you are ultimately gonna need to have money , even though you are not willing to work for money, you’re eventually gonna need it.If you don’t want to work for money and want to make money work for you I encourage you to financially literate yourself otherwise after university you’re gonna spend next 30 years paying off your debts.

“WORK TO LEARN — DON’T WORK FOR MONEY”

7-KISS Principle

KISS — Keep It Simple, Stupid (or Keep It Super Simple).Don’t try to make things complicated.It is very simple principle but you can’t imagine how much time you could save just using this principle.

8-“Don’t just wait for inspiration. Become it.”

Don’t wait for right time because it’ll never come unless you’re willing to.

9-Be Willing To Sacrifice

“Nothing great was ever accomplished without making sacrifices.”

Don’t be selfish all the time.It doesn’t make sense to just get all the rewards by yourself, share it, and even make people take all the rewards.Don’t chase rewords and know that if you do right things, the rewords will eventually chase you.Share your knowledge, take your time to learn with others and share with them.

“It’s never actually been about the rewards. It’s only and always been about seeing how far you can go. About achieving the impossible.”

10-Read Read Read !

I don’t know you but I am not a genius and I just can’t figure out everything by myself in my limited life time.Reading gives you ability to use others experiences and achieve impossible and make things even you can’t imagine possible.

11-Multi Tasking your biggest enemy

As the science accepts, multi tasking kills all the productivity of the things you’re doing, so don’t try to do a lot of things at once unless you’re willing to lower the efficiency.

12-Lower your cognitive load.

Don’t try to make thousands of little decisions ever days such as which music should you listen or which color clothes should you wear today.Don’t waste your much of consciousness to make little decisions all the time.Just keep it simple and try not to think about it much.Use your consciousness to make better decisions and learn new things.

13-Try Different Environments

Changing your study environment could potentially have enormous impact on your efficiency.So don’t isolate yourself and measure your efficiency in different places.

14-Physical exercise and Your Health is Matters

We all have some bad times or have stressed time.Be aware of that times and if you can not focus on studying just don’t.Know that Physical state change can give you a lot.Go to working out or even just do at home like me :) , and make sure you are getting all the vitamins and proteins you need every single day! If you try this for some period of time you’re gonna realize that now you have more memory capacity and low stress.

15-Get better at your piety

I don’t know what you do believe in but you should always be practicing and praising.You will start to feel grace and see the world in a different way that no other things can make you feel! Be sure to praise to true belief, don’t just stuck in the dogmas of your religions.Be aware of the others and always compare them unless you find the ultimate truth.

16-Overcome Your Fears

Last but not least don’t try to be perfect or be afraid of not getting the results you wanted.Just do what you can do and then let it go, be sure you wouldn’t do more and tried so hard.Even if you don’t succeed at least you tried.

“Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are.”

I wanted to hear from you ,what do you think we should do ? Let me know what you think.Know that I am willing to learn from your experiences too, so don’t forget to comment :)
