Study Methods

It occurs to me that its not whether a person actually works on an assignment or not, that determines whether they the assignment will be done. Rather is has more to do with what the person is doing when they are not working on the assignment. Its insane how much time can pass needlessly when we do necessary activities during our day, due to us not effectively performing the task. An examples of this could be getting up in the morning to get out of bed, into the shower, and out again to get dressed. For me this call could be accomplished in under 20 minutes if I were fully focused on doing this, however laying in bed not wanting to get up, or checking the phone in the morning prevents this from being happened. In all this whole process that could of taken 20 minutes when fully engage in the activity, takes 30 or 40 minutes. Time that could of been used studying or getting to the AS building to start the day. Although the difference between being fully focused and half assing it is maybe 10 or 20 minutes, this does inevitably add up over the course of the day. At the end of the day a person could of lost 1 or 2 hours to not being fully focused in the task at hand. I've come to the realization then that becoming efficient in accomplishing our daily tasks comes down to controlling our attention. Makes sense why someone might advocate meditation for increasing productivity.
