i randomly came across a video where someone talked about what they've done in just one year:
as someone who's seen friends grind through four-year degrees for the same, i was skeptical. how?
here are some tips they shared about studying 4 hours a day, every day:
we all have hobbies like reading novels, gaming, or binge-watching shows. keep the ones you truly enjoy, but cut out the half-hearted ones. you don't need to sacrifice all your hobbies, just the ones you're not very interested in.
time is your most limited resource. if you want to learn something new, invest in good courses or cohorts where resources are structured. or, if you have household chores, pay someone else to do them.
avoid multitasking, but pair low-brain tasks with learning. for example, listen to lectures while walking, then practice what you've learned afterward.
high energy lets you pursue your interests fully. exercise is a great way to boost your brain. movement signals to the brain that something important is happening. if exercise were a drug, it would be the most powerful one ever created.
entrepreneurs mind. athletes body. artists soul.
working in one place all day is boring. try working from a park, cafe, or balcony. new surroundings act like a "reset button" for your focus.
i'm not the best person to advise on sleep (my schedule is messed up), but a good sleep schedule keeps you fresh. even a short nap during the day can help.
don't try to learn ai/ml, web3, and development all at once. focus on one thing at a time, especially if you have limited hours to study.
use small pockets of time wisely. instead of scrolling social media, spend 5-10 minutes reading something worthwhile.
if you're working 24/7, you'll burn out. spend time with loved ones and have fun. remember: "it's just part of your life, not your whole life."
that's all for now. thanks for being here.
until then,
siddharth
