Today I learned that I need to do one thing everyday. Starting out last semester I was apprehensive of about taking Calculus 2. I was warned that it a very difficult class and that many students fail on their first attempt. This made take extra caution. I had seen for myself how difficult the class would be by just the first couple of concepts discussed in the beginning lectures. I began looking for ways to increase my ability to learn. I stumbled across a video called How to Learn Anything Fast. The guy in the video talked about how to get good and anything you really just need to put in 40 minutes of focused practice time for 30 days straight. The concept seemed so simple so I put into practice with my Calculus material and the idea beared fruit. I earned a B in my first exam. With doing calculus problems daily for at least 40 minutes I noticed the positives one reaps when they have a daily discipline. For one I noticed it was so much easier to do other coursework and other disciplines when I got my daily discipline out the way. I noticed it was so much easier to be consistent in the long term longterm with other things because I was deliberately consistent in the longterm with one thing. I also found an increased ability to force myself to do what is necessary when the time called for it. One thing that is absolutely required for this idea is a serious commitment. Without a serious commitment to one discipline then there is no way one can reap the benefits of it. Something i didn’t expect to happen when putting ithis dea into practice was how much more order my days seem to have when there was something I would do everyday no matter what. I think this idea is very important because it makes one more action oriented, it develops ones skill to a ever increasing degree, and it also makes one more likely to stay on track in the longterm.
