How much effort do I need in order to learn?

 

This is only an example to where we can start doing the things right or not. You can be in the same situation and be talking fully unfocused and just doing it as an automat.

 

Effort is probably the detonator of learning, no effort equals random learning. When you focus on doing the things right and the right thing with discipline and on a consistent basis, you are less prone to let distractions get between what you do and your learning process. Distractions can have many faces, some are very visible and some are in disguise. Anger can be a distraction. It can take your focus from what you are doing to what you wish you would be doing but you are not being able to. Here the only recipe is to go back to effort and to what you are doing.

In the days motivation is lower, for whatever reason, you go back to your standard commitment and you do the same effort as in your best days. This is something you get habituated to through repetition if you want to keep on improving.

Effort is particularly challenging on situations that don’t come easy to us, but specially there they are more important than ever.

In reality the concept of effort and the consequence of better learning is so simple….but not for everyone easy to execute. Effort equals better learning.
