Go for a walk

There are four major steps that are needed to be followed. The first step is to go for a walk. Everyone must be aware of it. But how is it going to help you? Whenever you feel demotivated and feel like giving up. It is that time you switch your physiology and go for a walk. you have loads of work and you don’t feel like leaving your desk. You don’t feel like working; you don’t feel like leaving the workspace as well. I have applied this technique in my real life as well so trust this process. Whenever I feel like giving up, I go for a walk and refresh my brain. I can give you some scientific explanation for it. An experiment conducted in 2007 revealed that the treadmill walk for about 30-35 minutes boosted cognitive flexibility up to 70%. And according to another study it was found out that sunlight which is a major and natural source of vitamin D helps you in overcoming the symptoms of fatigue. There is another Japanese concept called Shinrin Yoku which literally means “forest bathing”. It means interacting with nature which helps you boost your motivation and makes you feel lively and refreshed. You can even do some exercise while going outside for a walk. You can play basketball, tennis, and badminton to freshen your mind.

Decide a topic to work on

The next step is to decide on a topic to work on. It illustrates that you should commit to one task instead of jumping to easier ones whenever you feel the current task is difficult. If you feel it is difficult to stick to one task then you can write it down anywhere in the notebook. It not only helps you stay focused but also doesn’t let you forget your task. The first thing is to get yourself committed to one task. No matter how difficult it turns out to be. Leaving things in between is the thing due to which people lag behind. Firstly make your head clear and clear up all the tangled thoughts and commit to one task. And then start working on it. Focus on it and make yourself remain in that box until you complete the task.

Organise your workspace 

Clearing the clutter and organizing the workspaces is as important as completing the task. Our moms have been scolding us well for keeping things in place. But do we listen to them? I guess if we had been listening to them, they would not have been scolding us for years. Keeping things in place and organizing your workspace boosts your morale and helps you remain focused and attentive. Continuously watching things on your desk being unorganized ultimately lowers your working efficiency. When you have an organized desk you will require less time to accomplish your task. You are unable to locate the important items? You can find them easily when you have your desk organized. Your thoughts will be organized at your desk.It helps you in time management as well. Requires less time than usual. Lets you focus on the important tasks so you don’t miss them out. The renowned American chef Anthony Bourdain writes in his book “ Kitchen confidential” that his fellow mates used to do work in a dirty environment. One day his head chef went to him and placed his hand on the cutting board dirty with bread crumbs and then placed it on his face. He told him “that’s how your brain looks”.

Low key efforts 

Everyone is scared of putting in an effort. What is the easiest way to do a difficult task? Shall I tell you a secret? The best way to do a difficult task is to put a lowkey effort into it. For example, if I talk about myself then while writing the script I will not beat myself up if I am unable to find any funny comments or references. I will just go with the flow and will write whatever is in my mind. And then once I come into my zone and creative form I will just go back and add up the missing things. You feel resistance to doing difficult tasks often. You can just deal with them by putting low-key efforts into it. Thanks, everyone for bearing with us. Do subscribe for more interesting articles.

How to Study Like A Genius I Simple Ways to Learn If You Are Not A Genius I Consultant Mindset

Hey, guys, welcome to the consultant mindset. Today we will learn about some new tricks that will help you learn faster even if you are not a genius. Many people find it harder to learn than to understand. Understanding is something related to learning. You are capable of learning only when you have understood the assignment. Suppose you had to prepare a presentation for your school. And you had to cram everything written in the assignment for the presentation. You can do hard work and can learn everything but the next day you feel like fading everything from your brain. Why does that happen? After all such night pullers, you managed to prepare it. And now it’s all vanishing. Why’s it happening? The information is not stored in the long-term memory of the brain. And the short-term memory of the brain is not capable of having such a long span.

Sleep sandwich technique

The first and foremost trick is to practise a sleep sandwich technique. Continuously studying without any breaks will not help you. They will just assist you in draining your energy and enthusiasm. It is advised to follow this technique as it will help you retain and learn faster. The sleep sandwich technique majorly comprises the study and sleep with sleep sandwiched between them. It is study+sleep+study. Research has also revealed that a short amount of sleep within study sessions has proved to be effective in learning faster. It activates major parts of the brain and makes you feel motivated. And helps you learn faster eventually. When you are not studying and having a sound sleep your brain is involved in storing all the info in long-term memory. Good sleep is highly recommended before the exam as it helps you retain your knowledge. In pulling an all-nighter you tend to forget the things as quickly as you learn them. So take a sound sleep and let your brain work.

Chewing gum

The second trick is chewing gum. Chewing gum is found to have been involved in stimulating various areas of our brain. It helps a lot in alleviating anxiety and stress conditions. It helps to deal with situations without being less productive. In 2011 a social experiment was conducted on people. The people were made to do work in a stressed and anxious environment. The people who were chewing gum remained calm and handled the situation efficiently. Regardless of an anxious atmosphere they kept calm and remained productive. While those who were not chewing gums could not survive a chance. Studies have also shown that people who chew gum tend to be more attentive and focused in their work. It also increases their attention span. So whenever you sit to work just keep a pack of chewing gum in your pocket.

Hydration of the body

Are you drinking enough water? Because now studies have revealed that hydrating a body helps your brain work faster and more productively. It was explained by social experiments done on the students. The students who took a few sips of water during the exam tend to produce 10% more results than those who didn’t drink water during the exam. Water plays a major role in focusing and physical endurance. It helps boost the cognitive functions of the body. So if you want to feel enthusiastic while learning something new don’t forget to hydrate your body.

Music; A stress reliever 

Another bubbly trick is listening to music. Are you a music lover? If you are then it is going to help you a lot in learning faster. Some people have sworn that music has really helped them to learn faster. Music is known to be a stress reliever and an anxiety remover. So it is quite evident that it helps to reduce anxiety and makes you focus on things. According to some research, it is stated that some people cannot even study without music. It makes your brain receptive to new pieces of information. Try listening to new music every day.

Study in chunks 

We often study all our syllabi in one go. However, it is not the right method. Our brain is not designed this way to retain a lot of information in one go. It is advised to learn in pieces. As it keeps up your morale and helps you remain motivated. Study while taking short breaks. Doing something fun in between study sessions assists the fast learning process.
