I earned the Amazon Web Services Certified Cloud Practitioner (AWS CCP) certificate after testing on Friday.
I'm now working on the AWS Solutions Architect Associate (AWS SAA). Things will be much easier now that I've learnedthe blueprint/layout of most of the services it offers.
Also squatted 305 lbs for a single rep yesterday. 225 lbs bench press single rep on Saturday. Both are first time/PRs.
You are killing it! I want to learn data analysis and science so bad but I suck at learning for long periods of time. I don't focus for long periods of time so I do short 30 minute timed sessions of studying once a day. You seem like a natural. My hope is that I'll come out with a better mindset once I've used LTU6, UH, and MLS eventually.
Why stop at 30 minutes?
My philosophy is that you demonstrate what you want by doing it.
That's just me though
I think deep down I have a fear of learning for whatever reason which causes me to want to stop studying at 30 minutes. I feel relieved that I don't have to learn anymore after my 30 minute clock is up. I value learning tough stuff though because of the high emotional reward that you get from learning something and achieving something difficult. I get your philosophy though, but I don't like studying. I guess I'm lazy?? Don't know. But I've consistently studied for 30 minutes in the mornings when I have the most energy before work.
My suggestion? When you're in bed, before you try to fall asleep, visualize - in first person - yourself as though you've achieved the goal that your learning habit is working towards. Some vivid 30 second clip that you'll repeat 10 times. Feel how good it would feel to live that accomplishment. The goal is to build that feeling inside you. Do that for a couple of days, because what else would you be doing while trying to fall asleep?
This is the Psycho-Cybernetics/Neville Goddard type of philosophy.
You may find that your motivation improves. Or not.
Thank you Ampersnd. I might give it a shot.
