Learning Challenge: Making Learning More Automatic

Learning by H.E.A.R.T: Making More Automatic

For this week's learning challenge, I decided to explore the Attention aspect of the Learning by H.E.A.R.T challenges. The article that caught my attention most quickly was, How to Make Learning More Automatic. This article mainly focuses on how an individual can make learning on-the-job a habit. The author's main points were that a person should begin by identifying what they need to learn. The author tells readers to take time to think big and think small. This means that we should be thinking about where we want to be in the future as well as where we want to be at the end of the day. In order to make learning habitual, we must be specific about what we want to accomplish. We should monitor the habit we want to make and create a schedule in order to make the habit. So, if I really want to get in the habit of reading the material before my classes, I need to start setting up a time everyday for me to read.
