Kartini – Learning activities are not only carried out by students but also by young and old people. There is no word stop to learn when you want to know and learn something as long as there is still a desire from us.
Well, sometimes you feel lazy when you are going to do learning activities, especially when the words said by you “I’ll do it later,” then learning activities will be neglected or will not be done.
There may be a feeling of boredom when you are going to study due to several factors, for example, because of bad mood, difficulty in managing time, an uncomfortable study room, and other distractions.
Well, there are several ways that you can do to be able to practice and trigger you to be enthusiastic about learning, let’s take note carefully!
1. Instill in Your Heart and Mind That Learning is An Obligation to Upgrade Yourself
First, for those of us who always want to upgrade ourselves, one of them is by studying, then you must instill in yourself that learning is an obligation that you must do even without encouragement or coercion from others.
When you have grown your heart and mind to learn which is nothing other than an awareness from within that must be done, then you will enjoy every process.
2. Join a Circle That Has a Spirit to Learn
The spirit of learning can grow from the people around you, joining people in the same circle who have the same goals, so that it will trigger us to be more enthusiastic in learning.
3. Manage Study Time
Managing study time is also an important part that you can do. Study arrangements are made other than when you do your main activities. Determine the right time for your condition. Then do study activities with a duration that does not take long that makes you bored and stressed.
4. Avoid Disturbances
No less important in fostering the spirit of learning is to avoid all distractions. These distractions can be loud sounds, crowds of people passing by, sounds from electronic devices, and so on. And of course, this is a distraction and causes us to not focus and lose concentration in learning.
5. Make a List of What to Do First
Friend, if you feel like you have more tasks or things to learn. Then you should prioritize which ones you will work on first and adjust them to the scheduled deadline. It will not confuse you in determining which ones to prioritize.
6. Focus on What to Learn
Next, focus on what you will learn without thinking about anything else. The cause of difficulty concentrating in learning is one of the reasons other than those mentioned earlier. Also, the many thoughts in your mind that make it difficult to focus on learning. The best thing is to intend in your heart and take a deep breath and exhale slowly, get rid of thoughts that disturb you in learning.
7. Use Learning Facilities
In supporting learning activities, you can also use the learning facilities provided, for example, if you are outside you can use the public library, laboratory, practice room, media, internet, computer, and others.
8. Turn off Gadgets
Friends, it is also important for you to focus on studying, such as by turning off gadgets. Gadgets or mobile phones that cannot be separated from your reach become a part that is difficult to separate, like living in the Stone Age without a mobile phone. However, you need to know that to focus on studying, apart from turning off your mobile phone, you can also deactivate the social media notifications that you use. Just try it when you don’t turn off the notification, and then you are moved to immediately open and read the notification. So, it’s a good idea if you are wise in using gadgets and restrain yourself when you are going to study.
9. Prepare a Comfortable Study Room
Next, the importance of preparing a room for studying will create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in studying. You will be more focused and concentrated on what you will learn and will not feel bored even though you have spent a long time studying.
10. Determine your learning style
The last point, you can determine your learning style. When studying we have different styles of course we know what kind of learning style is easy for us to understand in learning something. For example, you will understand better with a visual learning style that you can see and learn and evidence that you can examine.
In addition, maybe you prefer an auditory style where you will find it easier to remember and absorb what you hear, for example, an explanation in writing.
And the last one is to be directly involved with what is being studied or what is called kinesthetic where you directly practice it.
So, friends… those are some things you can do to foster your enthusiasm for learning, hopefully it can be useful for you … good luck!
