- Identify what you want to learn
Visualize what you want to achieve by being very clear about what you want to learn. - Pinpoint the problem you want to solve
Sometimes, your motivation may be to solve a problem instead of learning a new skill. In this case, learning will still happen, but solving the problem is your focus. - Set a goal for your learning process
How will you measure your achievements? Charting your progress will give you motivation along the way. - Create something from what you will have learned. This could be a blog, a new product or a service. With this creation, you integrate what you’ve learned.
- Manage your time
Prioritize your self-directed learning. When will this happen? - Network with like-minded learners
Connecting with a learning community in person or online inspires you to keep doing what you love doing Example: volunteer!
