Hi, there 🙃
Once I found myself stagnating in several addictions such as junk food, social media and chaotic work-life schedule. Remote job has a long list of advantages, but it can easily make us addicted to the stuff that is nearby. Do you have a short rest during working day? Why not to fall asleep 😴 for 20 minutes or not to eat that delicious cake in a fridge? Tik - Tok and YouTube are also available at any time. These rewards are simply achieved and you don't have to make a lot of efforts in order to consume them. Our body, particularly our brain, is highly intelligent mechanism - if something is readily available, you will consume it instead of achieving complicated goals. Constant disruptions, such as social media notifications and new videos on YouTube, don't leave you any power. After consuming your level of dopamine increases and there isn't any need to do other stuff.
How to escape it? Interchange past habits. Every habit is some sort of addiction. Why not to take a useful habit instead of a bad one ? And with it I open every Monday category - #Monday_essay 📃.
Ready to dive in?
The knowledge of building new habits is essential for health, happiness 🙂 and work. The main question is how to build a habit that actually stick? Habits are not about our willpower or motivation - the matter is in our behaviors.
If you want any habit to stick you have to make the process as simple as it possible. You are going to prepare your body for a new swimming season and you intend to visit a gym 5 times per week. Rather than starting trainings for 5 times period, just take only 2 of them. Make it easy enough that you complete it without any motivation.
Rather than set huge goals, make small meaningful steps to meet your needs and gradually improve . For instance, you would like to become healthier and you set a sensible goal - to eat less junk food. Set the goal to deny junk food at all and you will loose. Instead, set a small goal to eat less candy - not a packet, but 2-3 sweets.
Everyone commits errors so abandon your all-or-nothing mentality. Get back on a track as quickly as possible if you slip and be ready to plan future failures - they are inevitable.
Hope, this was useful for you. Build healthy habits now and you will be grateful a year after.

Hi, there! 👋
The Monday post has been delayed, but better late than never. Today I'm going to share with you some useful tips to improve your study flow. Receiving education effectively is a habit. You have to organize your study-flow to become advanced in something new. Digital entertainments, information noise and other disruptions reduce the effectiveness of self-learning. Learning itself is tightly connected with deliberate learning - active input and background learning - passive input. Here are some steps we can take to increase the quality of our studying process.
1️⃣ Once you set a goal - to become advanced in something, e.g. English speaking, you have to change your outlook and behaviors. Rather than saying 'I try to learn English', claim that 'I am an English learner' and change your mindset. Our habits stick to us better if we associate ourselves with a person who does stuff instead of a person who wants to do stuff.
2️⃣ Embrace the difficulty and be ready to put a lot of efforts and focus on the process. Education cannot be effective if you don't do these. This is called deliberate practice or active input. Learning new words or focusing on your pronunciation is hard and uncomfortable. If you want to reach the fluency you have to embrace this difficulties and be ready to overcome them.
3️⃣ Connect self-learning with daily-life. Technologies allow us to study anywhere we want. On the road to work or while you are cooking turn on the educational podcast or anything else you are interested in - this will be your passive input. Surround yourself with educational environment and education would become a part of your live.
4️⃣ Be patient - the most powerful outcomes are delayed. It's better to study for 20 minutes but regularly. This consistency build your learning habit in a simple way - you don't need to rush for remarkable results in a short time. Success is the product of daily habits — not once-in-a-lifetime transformations and outstanding actions.
5️⃣ Turn off notifications while learning. Focus on the moment. Our attention is limited, so don't waste it. You might use Pomodoro Technique - effective way for self-education and better work-flow. You turn on the timer for 25 minutes or whatever you want and focus on one task during this time. Then you have a 5 minute break when you can answer the messages, do housework etc.
Hope, this stuff was useful for you. Study more, be smart! 🧠
