Tips To Efficiently Improve Your Self Directed Learning Skills

By Zelma Hurley


As a human, there are lots of things which you surely want to do. You may wish to read more, become bilingual, or even pick up a musical instrument. However, there are those who dream of doing things but are unable to pursue it because they think that they need a teacher for it and they have no money to afford for one.

However, not everyone can afford paying for one. In such cases, then you just have to personally teach yourself. You need motivation to do that though. If you opt to choose yourself, then you have to teach yourself first with the self directed learning skills. Here are those tips to remember in this regard.

First, there is a need to make improvements on your focus. You just have to pay close attention to a single task. Aim to complete the lessons for that single task before you proceed on another. This is the best way for you to complete a task at the soonest time possible. It is also a way for you to beat multitasking paralysis.

Once you have chosen that one field that you want to focus on, then you should define it. It would be beneficial for you to have a structure which you can follow for how you can learn the stuff you want to learn about. In layman's term, you can actually say that this is just similar to goal setting, with a touch of specificity to it.

Take up little steps. There is no need to rush things and jump a giant leap. The little steps you take in getting to know what you aim to do will lead to achieving your goals. These little steps will slowly but surely pile up in your journey, until you notice that you have already achieved the goals that you always want to achieve.

You should learn about pre-existing systems as well. These are the systems that are necessary for those stuff that you are planning to achieve. When these pre-existing systems become known to you, you should not underestimate them. Instead, you have to make sure to latch on to all of these pre-existing systems.

In that pre-existing system, you can surely find different tools and techniques. These are tools and techniques that can help you make a much better structure for the stuff you want to learn about. When you find these tools and techniques, you should promptly and meticulously test them out for their effectiveness.

Increase the stakes. Even if you have enough willpower to move forward, that alone is not sufficient for reaching your goals. You need other ingredients if you want to make a pot of success. Commitment is one of them. Other ingredients to add would be incentives and accountability.

Other people should be interested in what you are doing. When you talk to them about it, limit what you say to what you are currently doing. Do not tell them what you plan to do. It will feel more real if you just tell them the process instead of what result you are planning to take advantage of.
