STUDY SKILLS

Develop willpower for study!

Willpower is like a muscle the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. Start with baby steps - look at each day as a sea of opportunities to practice. During each day we make countless choices. We choose between doing the right thing or succumbing to temptation. We choose between the easy way and the better, but more difficult way. Be aware of your choices, and no matter how small the decision, do the right or better thing. Each time you do so, you strengthen your will.

Face even the unpleasant
You need the extra effort that is needed when doing something unpleasant. This can be overcome by focusing on the long term benefits instead of the short term discomfort also be considered a type of selective training, creating new habits of thought, action, and speech toward improving yourself and reaching goals. Self discipline can also be task oriented and selective. Hence view self-discipline as positive effort, rather than one of denial of "pleasant stuff".
