Hello everyone! In my journey to learn how to learn, the third week brought about a revelation that significantly impacted my ability to drive myself toward productivity. As someone who grapples with ADHD, finding strategies to maintain focus has been an ongoing challenge. However, I stumbled upon a game-changing realization that has been a beacon of productivity for me.

One of the key insights that emerged during this week was the profound impact of my surroundings on my ability to concentrate. As one of the sources I read on the internet said, choosing a good environment when studying is crucial to learning. Knowing that a cluttered and distracting environment can easily pull me away from tasks, I decided to experiment with my study environment. And the Archer Library became my favorite place.

I embarked on a mission to spend at least an hour at the Archer Library daily. The quietness, quality of light sources, and neatness of the environment just captivated me. By intentionally immersing myself in this conducive environment, I found that my ability to make meaningful progress on assignments was less painful.

Establishing a routine of visiting the library daily played a crucial role in training my mind to transition into a focused state. It wasn’t just about completing assignments but cultivating a habit of productive work. The consistent, dedicated hour at the library became a cornerstone of my daily routine, providing structure to my day and a clear signal to my brain that it was time to get to work.

As the third week unfolded, I found myself not just making progress on assignments but also fostering a sense of empowerment over my learning journey. The Archer Library, with its serene atmosphere, became a catalyst for my productivity. This week’s lesson was clear: by understanding and adapting to my own needs, I could create an environment that fosters focus, turning my daily tasks into meaningful accomplishments.

Join me next week as I dive further into the strategies and revelations that continue to shape my quest to learn how to learn. And please feel free to make comments, which are always welcomed and valued!

Hello my fellow readers, how has your week been going on? Mine has been okay, I already had my first grade, a 5/10. Looking at it in perspective, I committed various mistakes regarding the importance of my own opinion in the assignment and used some words that I didn’t know had a negative connotation. But looking at it on the positive side, errors are learning opportunities, so I know that I am going to do better on the next assignments.

Throughout this week I had many studying opportunities and learned that studying in a group has its pros and cons, such as I can be easily distracted, but at the same time it feels like being in a group of people doing the same thing as me helps me concentrate, I still have mixed opinions about it but definitely will give another try.

How do you manage study? As always, I would love suggestions and tips!

Hi, my name is Benjamin, I am an exchange student from Chile here in Regina, and regardless of my achievements, my study habits suck.

That’s why I decided to make this blog about “learning to learn”, this way I can push myself to make an effort and organize myself to accomplish this goal.

I will start with 30-60 minutes a day, so I can at least do my homework and study for upcoming tests; as my attention span is short I am planning to try the Pomodoro method, but I am open to suggestions.

Wish me luck! all comments are well received. 🙂
