So, i have been reading a book recently called “Mindset” by Dr Carol S. Dweck. I started it yesterday, and oh boy is it a great book so far.
The bits i have read so far have been about the Growth Mindset concept. This is where you are constantly looking for ways to improve yourself for: academic or even social reasons.
It links heavily into the idea of Kaizen (what i learned about in Economics) which means “continuous improvement”. I am trying to apply this to my life so that i achieve my goals in life. It doesn’t mean you are always studying, but as i have learned from other books, it is the way you study not the amounts.
How will can you apply this to your life i hear you ask, there are many different ways that you can do this. Firstly, when studying, just assess yourself at the end of each study session. Write down these three questions:
“What did i actually do in this session?”
“What did i learn?”
“How could i improve for next time?”
The three questions stated above can be detrimental for your development. There are always ways to improve, because no one is perfect.
Try it out for 30 days, i know i will be.
