#147 – It's pitched as the *most* important study skill, but why is it so goddamn hard to be consistent with your studies as an adult learner?

When you're studying alongside a busy life – as a distance learner, mature student or a workplace learner – it's pretty hard to study in an unchangeable rhythm.

And trying to do so and failing can really bottom out your motivation and mindset.

In this episode we're going to tackle why it's so hard to be consistent with your studies – and you'll learn what to focus on instead.

Because I would argue that there's a more important trait that is *much* easier for adult learners to embody. Nail this and you'll bounce back faster from studying setbacks, be able to flex your studying around your busy life, become a more resilient, confident learner…all so you can graduate with the grades you really want.

#145 – Do you struggle with imposter syndrome sometimes in your studies? Do you ever feel like a bit of a fraud that isn't good enough to be studying this subject at this level?

Imposter syndrome can strike students in different ways. When you get a low grade it can make you believe that this is your limit and you're not capable of achieving more. When you get a higher grade it can make you feel like you didn't deserve this success – that you're a fraud who's going to be found out to have gotten here by luck not by skill and hard work.

In this episode we're going to break down imposter syndrome to understand it a little more. Then I'm going to share with you three simple strategies you can use to kick imposter syndrome to the curb so that you can study from a more positive place, feel more confident AND ultimately achieve better results that you actually believe you deserve.
