Are there strategies you can use to improve productivity in language learning?
Today we talk with productivity expert Thomas Frank about three ways to learn English faster!
Thomas believes a big part of success in learning a language has to do with how you manage your time.
By using certain strategic behaviors, he says that you can get more and better learning, faster.
The top 3 three tips for improving English learning productivity:
- Induce Momentum: Start with small and easy things. Successfully accomplishing minor tasks will warm you up for larger, more difficult tasks.
- Use Mini-Missions: Give intense focus to improving on specific areas by treating them as “missions” that must be accomplished by a certain time.
- Increase Motivation with the Procrastination Equation: The Procrastination Equation is Motivation = (Expectancy x Value) / (Impulsiveness x Delay). In other words, the expectations and value you place on a goal are always going to be divided by all potential distractions and delays between you and your goal, so you need to make a habit of choosing the right goals and avoiding things that will slow you down.
