      Pomodoro method, 2 hour timer on youtube. Basically, 25 minutes study, 5 minutes rest X4.
      In the 5 minute rest I stretch, go to the restroom, and walk around my apartment. Great method if you want to stay motivated and get a solid 1 hour 45 or 2 hours of study done each day.

Question, in one of your videos you mentioned a digital notepad you had been using for around 4 months at that time. I can't seem to find it now to purchase it. Can you please reply with the name of it so that I can purchase one this weekend. Thanks.

I was beat down by the amount of information in most of these courses, and I really lost the dedication I had when I first started. I will get this before I get out of the military and I just want to thank you for your motivational words and content you create, I will keep you posted!!!

  • @olafhoogstad446
    @olafhoogstad446 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    OMG!!! the first part.......that is soooo me!!! I feel so lost in whats in my head and whats not....... Learning network basics, programming basics, security basics all in one....... in 5 month! I sometimes really feel like.... ok... its too much..... I am just....taking a break....but I LOVE IT!! Theres NO WAY I am giving up!! Thank you Chuck for these awesome videos. They really, truly help!! Hey, you are helping people all over the globe!! :)
    Things that also really help me are mind maps. They take time and effort, but they bring order in the chaos for me. They make me think "I dont have time for this" sometimes, but once finished, they actually save so much time and make studying more efficient for me!
    And as far as study place goes.....I get distracted easily.. I mean REALLY easily. So, what I try to do, is get a routine, and try not to break it, even on days you are off.. What I mean is, I wake up, give my daughter and my wife a big good morning hug, make breakfast for them, walk the dog, make breakfast for myself, go upstairs, into my "Batcave" (also known as my place to study), close the door, put on my headphones (yes, even if I am not listening to anything..... it just helps my mind block out the outside world...), and take my breakfast, my tea.... and GO.
    By the way... having things ready when you start studying is another super tip. Actually, its one of the reasons they hammer on making your bed so much in the military.........at least.... how ever bad (or good) your day was, you are really tired, you come back.... at least to a made bed, feels sooo goood... no matter if you did it yourself. Same thing for starting studying. Prepare everything, so you can jump right in when you need to. Proven method, works every time for me!

    For me, I am currently studying for CCENT. I must say it ain't easy at all. I some times lose the motivation to continue. For most parts, in my country, Nigeria, studying as a working class individual is viewed as weird (cos adults are supposed to be making money, not wasting time studying,....so most people think)
    Here's my daily routine; I get back from the office by 6pm. Then off I go to a nearby hotel with my PC, and do 1.5 - 2hrs of study. Get back home and make dinner. Cheers

    Hey guys! Recently discovered this channel and want to thank Chuck for making such great content. Chuck, thank you for being so inspiring and making it so easy to learn and understand. My 14 year old daughter started coding about 6 month ago and got me into this. But there’s so much that a 14 year old can teach. Chuck, you and your content are opening my eyes to a whole new worlds. Thank you once again!
    Ps also a great technique that I use to study is Compound Effect. I learned about it in the same titled book by Darren Hardy and it very similar to Atomic Habit. Combining both creates an amazing combination. Now I just can’t wait to see where I am going to be in 1, 2, and 4 years.

  • @CallSignJammer
    @CallSignJammer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I start with Cioara’s course in the morning because watching a video with a scratch pad & some coffee is easier than reading when you’re still groggy. If anyone knows about Jeremy Cioara, his energy and enthusiasm goes well with some AM coffee. Then throughout my day on breaks and at night I go through the CCNA book on the same topic to reinforce what I learned in the video. Having already heard and seen it, going through the book becomes a breeze and delight because it’s familiar. That “I’ve seen this before” feeling. Plus it’s interesting to see different approaches to the same ideas. For instance in subnetting Todd Lammle will find the block size/increment by subtracting the octet in question from 256, and Cioara will take the last network bit and convert it to decimal. Understanding two approaches can really help to check your work. (That’s just 1 example, and here are others, I’m sure)

    Thanks for the tips and for being my conscience for the day. I'm ADD and the Pomodoro technique has worked in the past, but I had left it by the wayside. The reward bundling also makes sense.

    Once I hit that mental block of studying, I put down everything I'am doing, gather my keys, equipment, wallet, and then go to the nearest YMCA and start lap swimming. Some people think it's a bit bizarre because I've done that without saying anything and just walk out, but it works for me because I clear my mind after an hour of swimming.

    Rotate through resources on a 1 hour pomodoro timer.
    1 hour reading materials
    1 hour of training videos
    1 hour of labs
    reward self with movie/video game to finish out the night after work (this months reward is Risk of Rain 2).

    For me it is to study first thing in the morning - straight into the shower, heater under desk, coffee on my desk ready to go. I don’t have the distractions of the day, had a lot of wasted time in my morning routine anyway and can do whatever l want at night. Plus l tend to gloss over video training before hitting a book. There is a great quote l like to when hitting those sticking points ‘when you get tired rest, don’t quit’

    I love this! I have recently (the last few semesters of school) implemented habit stacking! I didn't know that's what it was called, but I have exponentially increased my quality of life. I've increased productivity, decreased stress, and even improved my health! I'm a 3rd year full-time IT student, have 2 young children. Creating a routine (specifically a morning routine) has been essential in me getting stuff done. I have a 4.0 GPA and I still have time to study for my Network+. Here is my current schedule.
    0350-wake up
    0400-0430- Lift or run
    0430-0450- shower, skincare routine
    0450-0500- make coffee, short journal entry
    0500-0600- Certification Study (Currently finishing a video course, next week start practice exams)
    0600-0700- Schoolwork -assignments/projects/study
    0700ish- kids awake (That starts a whole other routine)
    My study area is my kitchen table, but its like a totally different place when it's just me, my family is still sleeping, and the sun hasn't risen. It's so peaceful and perfect for me. I setup my space the night before to create the environment: Open and charged laptop and clean rocketbook pages (I had one before I saw your video, so "I liked it before it was cool").
    I'm starting a Corporate IT internship next week and working on making some adjustments to my routine. I'll probably have to shorten study blocks by 10 minutes each in order to leave 20 minutes to get ready for work.
    The key to this all working is prepping the night before so my morning routine goes smoothly! Get my coffee pot ready, set out my gym clothes, prep my study space etc. Also, having a study plan, like you said. Mine is go through 2 video courses ( however long that takes with the hour each day). A week of practice exams, a few weeks of labs, and a few weeks of going over week topics and going through a cert book.
    I have so much more I could say bout this topic, iff you made it this far, you rock haha

    Hi Chuck! Love your videos, they've oddly enough encouraged me to keep on going in my journey towards my IT career.
    Question: I'm a Cyber Security student and am going for my CCNA certs this summer, are there jobs in networking that focus solely on security? I've done a bit of research on networking IT jobs, but I've struggled to find positions that don't bundle in some sort of Network Administration with the offer. I find it confusing that my school offers a relatively new Cyber Security major despite what I see as a lack of Cyber security jobs.

    You were right this was a long video. But it was a good long video. You hit on a lot of things I have an issue with when it comes down to studying. I'm going to try some of the methods you talked about. My issue was the focus but I think I got that under control. it's the drive that's killing me. When taking my MCSA test I failed twice, and I have one coming up in a few weeks. I think reading the material and doing the material over getting's boring. I know the material but when I'm about to take the exam I blank out... HATE iT!!!! Hopefully, this time around I will do the breath method and see if that works.

    On the the topic of removing friction, I find it is easier to study in a room that is devoid of distractions and clutter.
    I always make sure that all my study materials are in one place, and they are ready to move. That way, if my room is a mess, or if there are other distractions around the house that require attention, I can just pick up and leave to go to the library or coffee shop.
