1. The Learning Process
- 問自己"為什麼要學這個新技能?"，這是最重要的一點，了解自己想學這個技能的原因後，可以幫助自己更專注，並持續的更久。
Deconstruct a Skill
- Break the skill in small tangible goals.
- Start Backwards(Reverse Engineer)
- 利用"心智圖"讓自己更好了解
- Sequence those goals
- Start with the easiest ones!
- Eliminate unneccessaary goals and group them
- How can I be good quickly?
2. Commitment
- What can you do to ensure you practise everyday?
Plan your Day
- Write everything you need to get done the next day
- Block periods of time to do those things
- BLock a period of time to practise and learn your new skill
- Try to learn always in the same period of the day(option)
Reward Youself
Rewards = Pleasure
- Create specific rewards each time you complete a goal(ex: watch a movie, have some snacks)
Punish Youself
Punishment = Pain
- Eliminate something you love to do, if you don't complete a specific goal
- Pay money each time you fail to accomplish your gloas(一次罰的錢不能少到無感，但也不能多到讓自己無法負荷，由每個人的經濟狀況決定)
- 有個App叫做Beeminder，一開始就要決定「要是目標沒達成，你要罰多少錢」，同時綁定信用卡卡號、並簽訂合約，如果沒有達成就會自動轉帳一筆錢到指定的單位。這樣的app很適合拿來督促自己。
