Eliminate Clutter
We live in an era of too much.The cost of goods has decreased rapidly over the last few decades and we now possess a lot of everything. Own fewer clothes, shoes, cooking materials, bedding sheets, and towels. Give away or throw directly in the trash to create white space in your life.
But decluttering your life is more than just getting rid of materialistic possessions: it’s about focusing on less goals (one is enough), eliminating items from your to-do list, consuming less social media, cancelling the gym membership you never use, bailing on time-consuming meetings and pointless arguments, keeping your desk clean at the end of the day, and single-tasking.Use the 80/20 rule to find the truly important things in your life. Focus on the 20% of things that bring you 80% of the results. This will help you stop sweating the small stuff and focus on the bigger picture instead.
Develop a Growth Mindset
A person with a growth mindset views challenges as opportunities. Growth comes from taking on difficult challenges and figuring out how to overcome them. You look at failures and struggles as progress and getting closer to the solution. In Elon Musk’s words: “You should take the approach that you’re wrong. Your goal is to be less wrong.” You value the process over the result.You know you can learn anything if you put enough effort into it. And if you fail, you approach the problem from a different angle until you find a solution that works. You iterate until you get it right.Expand your knowledge by reading books, taking online courses, watching documentaries, reading about your industry, and learning from other people. To consolidate what you learned, teach the concepts to other people using the Feynman Technique.Developing a growth-oriented mindset brings progress to both your personal and professional life. Even small gains each day compound over time: a 1% gain per day adds up to almost 38x increase over a year.
Journaling
Journaling is the most effective way to understand your past, present, and future. Writing your thoughts down every day helps you sort your mental clutter, be clearer on your ambitions and goals, consolidates what you learn, increases your gratitude, and improves insight and understanding of your life. A journal records your entire life history that you can look back on and see how much you’ve grown.To get started, start simple: write one thing you accomplished, one thing you are grateful for, and one thing you are struggling with. Once you have developed the habit of writing daily, you can expand on your template by adding other things you find relevant, like progress on big goals and steps you are taking to accomplish them.To make journaling one of your good daily habits, make it a part of your nigh-time routine. Write down your thoughts on a notebook before going to bed and let your brain process the information during sleep.

1930 жылы «Қазақстан» баспасынан ақын Ілияс Жансүгірұлының «Жұмбақ» деп аталатын балаларға арналған кітабы жарық көрген. Суретті шешуімен түрлі-түсті басылып шыққан бұл балалар кітабы «Казиздат» басқармасының арнайы тапсырысымен жазылғанын білетінбіз. Бірақ, кітаптың өзі қолымызға түспеген еді. 2018 жылдың сәуір-мамыр айында Алматыдағы ҚР Орталық Мемлекеттік архиві қорындағы Ілияс атамыздың жеке құжаттарымен танысқанымызда, Казиздаттың» хатын көргенбіз. 1928 жылы «Казиздаттың» меңгерушісі Ф. Оликов Ілиясқа хат жазған. Хатта: «Казиздат обращается к Вам с просьбой, не можете ли Вы написать детские книги – пьесы для детей младшего, среднего возраста и юношества из казахской жизни, особенно из эпизодов пастушеской жизни (эксплуатация байством детского труда), школьной жизни, из эпизодов гражданской войны и т.д. Если Вы изъявите свое согласие, не откажитесь ответить, чтобы мы могли заключить с Вами договор» деп ақынға ұсыныс білдіріпті (ҚР ОМА, қор – 1368, тізім – 3, іс – 66). Бұған дейін де балалар әдебиетінің қалыптасуы мен өркендеуіне үлес қосып, «Сыйлық» (1928), «Балаларға тарту» (1928) кітаптарын шығарған, кенже қалған саланың болашағына алаңдап мәселе көтерген ақын бұл ұсынысты бірден қабылдап, «Жұмбақ» деген кітабын жазыпты. «Жұмбақтан» соң ақынның «Одақ», «Шәркей», «Малта», «Мектеп», «Маяк» сияқты балаларға арналған кітаптары бірінен соң бірі басылып, оқушы қолына жеткен.
Whether you like to study with music or not, noise-canceling headphones are one investment
Too often, students get it in their head that studying non-stop is the best way to memorize and understand the material. But they couldn’t be more wrong! It’s necessary to take proper breaks and
Many students say the same thing happens to them before an exam or paper: they run out of time to learn the material! Having excellent time management skills is crucial when you’re in school, but it’s easier said than done. We recommend creating a study schedule well before a big deadline. This helps you visually see how much you need to study, and estimate how much time it will take. Plus, it can
Many students are too intimidated to ask their teachers or professors questions after a lesson. You might be worried the question will come across as silly, or that you’ll be even more confused and stressed out after getting an answer. But this is exactly what your teachers are there for! They’re meant to help explain the material to you as much as you need to until you get it. It also often works in your favor to build a repertoire with your teacher. They’ll see how hard you’re trying, and you’ll likely be able to pinpoint topics you need more work in understanding. At the very least, it certainly can’t do you any harm to ask them for clarification!
Too often people assume that there’s only one right way to study. And that’s just downright false! People come in all different shapes and sizes, and thus they all have different ways of learning, too. The best thing you can do is learn what works from trial and error. Do research into different study methods and put them to the test. If they’re not working for you, then move on to something different. Eventually, you’re bound to find a routine and habits that allow you to study in a healthy and productive way. Oh- but no one benefits from all-nighters. So make sure you’re getting a good night’s sleep, no matter what!
