(11) Start a Project
Set out to do something you don't
know how. Forced learning in this way can be fun and challenging. If you don't
know anything about computers, try building one. If you consider yourself a
horrible artist, try a painting.
(12) Follow Your Intuition
Lifelong learning is like wandering
through the wilderness. You can't be sure what to expect and there isn't always
an end goal in mind. Letting your intuition guide you can make self-education
more enjoyable. Most of our lives have been broken down to completely logical
decisions, to the extent that making choices on a whim has almost been stamped
out.
(13) The Morning Fifteen
Use the first fifteen minutes of
your morning as a period for education. If you find yourself too groggy, you
might want to wait a short time. Just don't put it off until later in the day
when urgent activities will push it out of the way.
(14) Reap the Rewards
Learn information you can use.
Understanding the basics of programming allows me to handle projects that other
people would require outside help to accomplish. Meeting a situation that makes
use of your educational efforts can be a source of pride.
(15) Make it a Priority
Few external forces are going to
persuade you to learn. The desire has to come from within. Once you decide you
want to make lifelong learning a habit, it is up to you to make it a priority
in your life.
