Why am I so unmotivated to learn something that would benefit me in the long-run?
Why would I think about it for years but then do nothing about it?
How would I even an approach a grandiose topic like learning music/writing/drawing?

Chapter 1: Procrastination
Why am I so lazy all the time?

• Sometime the idea of learning something new gives you anxiety which is triggers the same area in your brain where we sense pain
• Best Solution is just to start doing it
• In the moment of learning it you will have problems most specifically dissatisfaction or longing for a short-term satisfaction
• Best Solution is to remember this would lead to long-term satisfaction

Chapter 2: How to Remember What You Have Learned

• What learning actually is?
  • It is a cell in our nervous system called neuron and information flows from one neuron to another neuron through a synapse and your brain has a billion of synapse
  • Learning something new makes brain create more synapses
• It is still important to rest as memorization takes time and learning takes repetition
• Brain remembers what is important so things you forgot are probably not important so focus on things that you need and not on multiple stuff
• Exercise and Social Contact makes your brain produce new neuron and study and learn better

Chapter 3: You Have to Do Everything on Your Own

• Different Modes of Thinking
  • The Focused Mode (Logical Mode / Left-Brain Mode)
    • Requires no distraction so your memory is not inefficient but not the most fun
  • The Diffused Mode (Creative Mode / Right-Brain Mode)
    • Brain is free to wander like putting music, some videos because you are not learning but reinforcing what you have learned
• Switch modes that will help you the most efficiently
• No matter what you are learning, you must do it yourself
• Huge part of learning is problem solving and you have to solve the problem yourself

Chapter 4: It Gets Tough and That is How It Gets Easier

• Learning can be so hard that you can’t even relate to it. But you need to learn about it until it feels real.
• Make it relatable for yourself
• Get across the major ideas and not get stuck with small details

Chapter 5: Still Have To Do A Lot of Studying

• If you want to remember something, you must test yourself
• Make it important to you and make you need it
• Test yourself and know what is your wrong and study about it again
• Mistakes are part of what we learn
• Refuse to learn something new because of a misleading intuition or feeling that you have understood it or mastered it.

Chapter 6: Everything is Perfect

• It is perfectly normal to procrastinate, especially if it is new to us and you don’t know where to start
  • But maybe you can focus on something what you can do right now and just do something right now
  • Make the initiative the time and effort
• Take the Initiative
