Here’s how to boost self-management during learning:Set clear, specific daily goals (e.g. “finish 2 chapters + 20 Anki cards” instead of “study”).
Use time-blocking: assign fixed time slots for focused study, breaks, and review.
Apply the Pomodoro technique (25 min work + 5 min break) to maintain concentration.
Track progress daily with a simple habit tracker or Notion / spreadsheet.
Eliminate distractions: phone on Do Not Disturb, use website blockers (Freedom, Cold Turkey).
Start with the hardest task first (Eat the Frog method) to build momentum.
Review weekly: what worked, what didn’t, adjust next week’s plan.
Prioritize sleep, exercise and nutrition — they directly impact focus and memory.
Practice self-compassion: treat slip-ups as data, not failure.
Consistency beats perfection. Small systems compound fast.https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits
