Agree or not, ours is a very weight conscious society. Meet people after ages, the first thing they tell you how fat or how slim you look. Most often it is either a compliment on your weight loss or a criticism on weight gain. Aishwarya Rai’s weight gain became a national issue, recently. Sounds funny but it’s true.
Why am I talking about all these here, you may wonder? Well, I do find a striking similarity between dieting and learning. You got to do both these right to get good results.
So in this post, I use dieting as an analogy to convey how to do your learning activity the right way.
Here we go:
1. Start with a small target, something that is doable
It is highly ambitious and unhealthy to lose 20 pounds in a month.Rather you must target about 10 pounds or less in a month, which is doable. Likewise while learning, you need to set short targets. For example, if you are trying to learn a new programming language, a reasonable target is to write basic programs within 1 or 2 months and then you move to the next level.
