3 secrets of effective practice

1. Minimize distractions

When practicing something, concentrate all your attention only on the task at hand. Do not be distracted by games, viewing mail or a movie on a second monitor or smartphone. If you have an important call to answer, tell the other person that you are busy and call him back later.

If you are distracted all the time, you will begin to lose the essence of the problem and forget the ideas (perhaps very valuable) that you had while solving it.

2. Focus on quality

Regular training alone will not make you a professional if you don't pay attention to quality. Working for the sake of a tick will not bring any result - it is a waste of time. If you don't feel like worrying about the quality of the work you do, ask yourself, is this what you are doing at all?

Of course, at first it will be difficult for you to do something new on a schedule, such as going to the gym. To do this, you need to find time, pack up, walk or get to the place, change clothes, train, take a shower, change clothes again and go home. Thinking about it can spoil the anticipation of the upcoming classes, but over time, all these things will be done automatically, so you just have to enjoy the exercises.

3. Divide the practice into stages

Take breaks from your studies. This will help you not only return to solving problems with a fresh mind and look at them from a different angle, but also better remember the information.

During breaks, it is best to take a walk in the fresh air, have a snack or chat with someone, but in no case switch to other things, otherwise you will not rest.
