Studying hacks
JasonJ | Jan 15 2007
I wonder if someone can help me. Does anyone have any good studying hacks? I have two IT self-study certifications that I need to study for and pass within the next three months and need some help. I've dedicated a lot of time and effort into techniques such as MindMapping - even paid the money and bought the software. I find that I need to go away and learn this before I could even start learning the subject material that I need to. This sets me back even more. I don't have a problem devoting the time if its really worth it. Before I spend even more time learning Mindmapping I wondered if I could be looking at some other more useful, quicker to learn techniques. Or even just some reassurance that I'm following the right path. TIA Jason 6 Comments

I've used a similar system. During my undergraduate studies (History) I had a lot to read during a semester. I wasn't using GTD at the time, but what I found helpful was to break the goal into smaller tasks. For example, I would pick a text, determine how many total pages I had to read, and figure out how many pages I needed to read each day to complete the book by the end of the class. You might be able to do something similar using a tickler or, as I was doing at the time, a PDA. » POSTED IN:
