step [1] for better study outcome / Give a Brief to the Brain

 

This step is essential before reading any book. Without it, you will probably feel sleepy every time you hold the book, so please take it seriously, and I will explain why.Let's say you need to read a particular book to pass an exam, and you are trying your best, but still not getting the score you after. In this case, you need a strategy in action.

In this video, I will explain the first step of the 5 steps strategy we proposed in the previous video. Which talk about briefing the Brain. 

We know Reading is not that fun for everyone, some find it difficult to even read one page of a book without feeling into sleep, start browsing the net, checking their social media accounts, go eat, or whatever to escape reading. And that is because you skipped this step, I will explain how,

let's get started ;

the first step is to 

Brief your Brain.

First, you must understand some basic facts of how does your brain works. 

I am going to make it simple for you; I need you to put in your mind this image about the Brain;

 The Brain is the head Manager of a large corporation( your body), under his command, there are full-fledged teams of highly skilled professionals who are on standby to take over. All your body following his leadership.

So you must get that manger interested in the project(reading that book), get him to accept the project. The Brain must be fully informed of the primary data and details of the feasibility of completing any mission. He must have a vision of future results.

How you do that?

A. By a Quick Browsing without writing notes. 

You have to get an overall understanding of the main ideas. you need to look for 

1. Titles

2. Subtitles 

3. Summaries and abstracts

B. Writing a Questions List,Since you reading looking for answers to your questions. You have to specify your Questions first. Keep a list to make you stick to your mission, and don't get carried away. 

 Ask yourself ;

- Why reading this particular book? not another book

- What do I already know about the subject? 

-Then Write down a list of specific questions you belive that examiner will bring on the test.

-List as many questions as needed. 

-Use titles and subtitles of the book to form some of your questions.

Bit by bit, the Brain will start to be interested in reading the book.

I need to remember;

*Without a brief, the Brain is like someone walking blindfolded; he feels hesitation, scared, confused and highly likely would freeze at the spot, trip over, or walk the wrong way, and even if he reaches his goal, he takes a longer time. So, take it off and point him to the target, give him necessary instructions, let him do his job, you will be astonished by the results.

* Or, he might lose interest in a project, He probably will cancel the mission, start another different task, or inter in a sleep mode, to save resources and energy.
