I am still reading what I subscribed from the audio: Grüße aus Deautschland 1 (there is a link to it at the sidebar of this website on your right side of the browser). I can read it pretty well and fluently.
Today, I am going to record what I read and see if it is ok before I go to the next audio (which I have been listening to ever since the day I finished subscribing the audio 1).
Recently, I bought and read the book by Josh Kaufman: The First 20 Hours. Although I don't think it is worth of the money I bought it for, I learned ONE thing from it -- breaking your study into chunks of a short time, say 20 minutes.
And I also came across the book by the name of Buzan's Study Skills. It is also saying that
It is essential that any time period for studying be broken down into 20-50 minute sections with small rests in between.Although the reasons might be different from each other. But I found out that doing that really makes it easier for me to do it persistently.
1. I have no excuse to not do it any more.
I am spending less time and having more breaks. If you are asked and want to read for 2 hours, what would come up in your mind? Maybe just think about it would make you step back. But now, 20 minutes would be something anybody can do. So you might as well just do it.
2. It is much more fun.
Listening or reading for 20 minutes and taking small breaks will make it much fun. You can do whatever for your breaks. No matter it is standing up and moving around your room or listening to a song, It does feel like a break than doing for 2 hours without rest and, therefore, is more like what breaks mean.
3. It is more efficient.
As supported by scientific researches, this pattern of study has much more efficiency. You can learn more and recall what learn more easily.
