How can I fall in love with study?

It is common knowledge that many of us begin to see the act of studying as a kind of forced labor almost as soon as we enter the classroom for the first time.

Is there any way that we can alter the way that we think about it and get educated on how to approach the learning process in a manner that will offer us nothing but happiness?

1. Do what you love to study, and do what you love to do.

Even after completing high school and graduating from college, we continue to educate ourselves on a daily basis by enrolling in further coursework, going to professional development seminars, and working on expanding our linguistic and professional horizons. It is a well-established fact in the educational community that success is directly proportional to the degree to which a student is able to take pleasure in the learning experience. It was once claimed by Confucius, one of the most influential and knowledgeable thinkers of all time, that if you choose a career that you like, you would never have to put in a day's labor in your whole life. Suppose, for example, that you were the kind of student who constantly despised chemistry in school; in this scenario, you probably wouldn't want to work in any capacity that was even vaguely connected to the topic. On the other hand, if someone has been interested in music since they were young and has always envisioned themselves as a conductor, then no examination or test, regardless of how challenging it may be, would ever prevent them from following their goal of being a conductor. The point is, when you are doing something that you do not really care about, five minutes seem like an hour; on the other hand, when you are actually enjoying the thing you are doing, hours fly by as if it has only been five minutes since you started doing it. There is no question that having the necessary skills is highly vital, but having the necessary enthusiasm is also very crucial. I know a lot of individuals who are genuine specialists in their industry, but their heart simply isn't in it - exactly like the stereotypically miserable accountants and grouchy HR professionals that we so frequently read about in the news. It is of the utmost importance that you have a genuine interest in the topics that you are learning about. Your job will never seem monotonous and inconvenient if you always have the impression that you are engaged in an activity that you find interesting and worthwhile. Instead, it will keep you full of energy and determined to keep going.

Sadly, a large number of young individuals make the decision to get a degree in a field that was selected for them by their parents. There aren't that many people who are aware of the fact that Natalie Portman and Claire Danes turned down multiple important parts because they were studying psychology, or that Brad Pitt studied journalism in college and didn't begin his Hollywood career until after he had his degree in that field. These are wonderful illustrations demonstrating that it is never too late to make a shift in one's life and to begin pursuing one's own aspirations rather than those of one's mother.

2. Set objectives

Learning should never be done in a theoretical manner. Stop going to class just because you think it's your 'obligation' to do so; this strategy isn't going to get you anywhere! Try to look at your time spent studying not as a sentence that you are required to serve for a number of years but rather as the basis of a wonderful future job and a better future overall. It is essential that you continuously remind yourself of the factors that contributed to your decision to return to the'school desk,' as it were. Let's imagine that moving to Italy, the country of your dreams, is your primary objective. The only thing that is left to do at this point is to study Italian. Studying will no longer seem to be the end goal, but rather the path that must be traveled in order to reach a more joyful future.

3. Tailor your study routine to fit in with the rest of your life.

Our minds and bodies were not designed to remain in a state of perpetual activity without periods of rest. If you continue to devote every ounce of your strength to your career and your studies on a daily basis, you will ultimately get exhausted. For instance, if you work until eight in the evening but still go to your evening courses (despite the fact that you are exhausted, sleepy, hungry, and furious), you will undoubtedly start to question why you are putting yourself through this stress sooner rather than later. There is a virtually zero percent chance that you will proceed. It will not bring you any happiness; you will have a difficult time trying to pay attention, to remain motivated, and to actually learn things, and instead of studying project management at night, you will hear a voice inside your head telling you to go to sleep, to meet up with friends, or to have a glass of wine. It will be difficult for you to learn new things.

It is essential that your schedule for studying perfectly complements the rest of your life. This will enable you to steer clear of anxiety and tiredness, as well as accomplish the most with the least amount of mental and physical strain. Learning "in little chunks" at close intervals and at a time that is convenient for you is the driving force behind the primary trend of the year 2020, which is known as bite-size learning. Using this strategy, you will study for fifteen to twenty minutes while you are enjoying your cup of coffee in the morning or while you are out on a run. It has been shown that even if one just devotes ten minutes per day to the study of a language, this is far more productive than attending weekly lessons that last for two hours. As for the courses that we provide via Lectera, they too are built on the same fundamental idea. Our mission is to make it feasible for as many individuals as we can within a reasonable amount of time to acquire as much knowledge as they can possibly handle. We also make an effort to assist them in completing the task in a manner that does not include any "fluff" or the accumulation of theoretical materials that are not required. On the other hand, we place a greater emphasis on the experiential aspect of the learning process.

4. Include some time for practice.

Not only does practice make the learning process easier and more enjoyable for us, but it also fundamentally alters our way of thinking about the material we are trying to master. One of the basic tenets of the approach to learning that I call "Fast Education" is the idea that we should integrate newly learned abilities into our routines as we continue our education. And it really does the trick!

It enables us to remove the element of procrastination from the process of learning, which in turn helps us understand that the reason we are engaging in this activity is not only to "check the box" but rather to accomplish some actual practical consequences. And you don't actually need to wait till you acquire a certificate or a diploma before you can start working toward attaining goals; you can get started right now. As soon as you discover that your efforts in studying are starting to pay off, you will immediately feel that your interest and drive to learn even more will significantly grow.

Creating your own video game on your computer, for instance, can allow you to make some headway in your programming studies while simultaneously providing you with additional reason to keep going to class. Conversations with people who are fluent in the target language will not only help you advance more quickly in your language studies but will also contribute to a more immersive classroom experience.

5. Surround yourself with individuals who share your values and beliefs.

The people with whom we surround ourselves are the ones who have the most direct influence on us; they either lift us up and encourage us to become better versions of ourselves, or they bring us down and discourage us from doing so. Recent research indicates that one of the most important factors in academic achievement is one's social milieu. Therefore, you should limit the people you include in your network to those that have a similar mentality to yours and share your life objectives, as well as those who are consistently striving to develop themselves and are eager to accompany you on your educational journey. Keep in mind that the social milieu you find yourself in right now is a direct reflection of your future.
