In today’s fast-paced industry, learning will most likely involve seeking new skills in ways that challenge the norm. But thankfully, there is a promise for such lifelong learning online - the promise that will save your time and money while helping you earn more of both.

Provided you have access to a decent computer and the Internet, the barrier to getting started is probably lower than it ever has been. And with those things in place, it is a matter of finding the content you wish to learn. So, to help others who may be looking to maximize their own learning efforts, I have listed some quick tips below.

First, set achievable goals. When you start learning, it is a good idea to set goals about what you want to learn or what you might do with your newly acquired knowledge. It might be landing that new job, building a tangible product, or impressing your current management. The goals may vary in size and complexity, but do revisit these goals throughout your learning process. Within a couple weeks, ask yourself: “Am I getting closer to my goal?” or “Am I learning the skills necessary to reach my goals?”. If you are not, then you may need to look elsewhere.

Second, learn with others. By yourself, learning anything has a high propensity to become frustrating. Try teaming up with friends or colleagues. They can often be your best resource for maintaining motivation while you learn.

Third, make it a habit. Online habits often include scrolling through social media or watching videos on YouTube. If you have the downtime for such activities, then you could spend that downtime learning something. And why not learn something? If you do, then you will have plenty more to talk about on social media anyways. So, make learning your new online habit by making a commitment to learn something new each day

According to the passage, what is the first step of learning online?

A. Buying a computer and having it checked every two weeks

B. Landing a new job and building a tangible product

C. Setting practical goals and checking them regularly

D. Varying your goals in size as well as complexity

Productivity Hacks for Great Success

No matter who we are or where we are from, we only have 24 hours each day to get things done. Some people seem to make the most of their time, using it to achieve their goals and dreams. Others feel that life is passing them by and they aren’t accomplishing anything. If you are in the latter group, it is not too late to turn things around. By implementing a few simple hacks, you can start getting better results very quickly.

If you want to become more productive, it pays to learn about the Pareto principle (which is also known as the 80-20 rule). It states that for most tasks, 80 percent of the results we get come from 20 percent of the work we do. For example. 80 percent of the company sales usually come from 20 percent of customers. Therefore, the trick is to focus your efforts on the key 20 percent of actions that truly matter to greatly improve your results.

In some cases, people may be busy from morning to night but still seem to get nothing done. In this situation, the problem might be that clear goals haven’t been set. To fix this, set some time aside to list the things you want to achieve in life. Then, select the top three or four that you want to focus on for the next year. Look at your goals every night before bedtime and ask yourself what are the next actions to accomplish each day. Then, promise yourself that you will finish these tasks no matter how busy you get. If possible try completing the tasks first thing in the morning so you are assured of success.

Another common mistake regarding productivity is not considering our energy levels. If we try to work around the clock, we will eventually get tired and quit. Everyone needs time to sleep, eat, socialize with friends, and unwind from the stress of the day. To make sure you don’t burn out, be sure to schedule some time for breaks and fun activities into your schedule every day. Finally, no matter how difficult your goals may seem, remember the old saying that “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.

What is implied in the last sentence of the passage?

A. It is best to take a big first step

B. Start moving toward your dreams little by little

C. Think twice before taking any steps.

D. People get their best ideas when traveling

Dịch bài

Dù bạn có là ai và bạn đến từ đâu, chúng ta cũng chỉ có 24 giờ mỗi ngày để làm mọi việc. Một số người tận dụng được tối đa thời gian của họ, sử dụng nó để đạt được những mục tiêu và giấc mơ của bản thân. Số khác thì cảm thấy rằng cuộc sống cứ thế trôi qua và họ chẳng làm được điều gì. Nếu bạn đang ở trong nhóm thứ 2, vẫn chưa muộn để xoay chuyển được tình thế. Bằng cách thực hiện một vài mẹo đơn giản, bạn có thể có được những kết quả tốt hơn nhanh chóng.

Nếu bạn muốn trở nên có năng suất, nên tìm hiểu về nguyên tắc Pareto (còn được gọi là định luật 80-20). Nó chỉ ra rằng đối với hầu hết các công việc, 80% kết quả chúng ta đạt được là đến từ 20% việc chúng ta làm. Ví dụ, 80% doanh số của công ty là đến từ 20% khách hành. Do đó, mẹo là hãy tập trung vào 20% các hành động thực sự quan trọng để cải thiện được kết quả.

Trong một số trường hợp, chúng ta bận rộn cả ngày từ sáng tới tối nhưng dường như vẫn chả làm được gì. Trong trường hợp này, vấn đề có thể là do chưa có mục tiêu rõ ràng. Để khắc phục điều đó, hãy dành thời gian để liệt kê ra những thứ bạn muốn đạt được trong cuộc sống. Sau đó, chọn ra top 3 hoặc 4 điều bạn muốn tập trung cho năm sau. Nhìn vào những mục tiêu của bạn mỗi tối trước khi ngủ và tự hỏi bản thân hành động tiếp theo để hoàn thành mỗi ngày là gì. Sau đó, hứa với bản thân rằng bạn sẽ hoàn thành những mục tiêu đó dù có bận cỡ nào đi chăng nữa. Nếu có thể, hãy thử hoàn thành nhiệm vụ đầu tiên vào buổi sáng để bạn được đảm bảo sự thành công.

Một sai lầm phổ biến khác liên quan tới tính năng suất đó là không cân nhắc về khả năng của bản thân. Nếu chúng ta cố gắng làm việc suốt cả ngày, cuối cùng chúng ta sẽ cảm thấy mệt mỏi và muốn bỏ cuộc. Ai cũng cần thời gian để ngủ, ăn và giao lưu với bạn bè, và tránh xa những căng thẳng trong ngày. Để đảm bảo rằng bạn không bị mất hứng làm việc, hãy chắc chắn sắp xếp cả thời gian cho việc nghỉ ngơi và các hoạt động giải trí cho lịch trình mỗi ngày của bản thân. Cuối cùng, cho dù mục tiêu của bạn có khó khăn tới mức nào, hãy nhớ rằng người xưa có câu “một cuộc hành trình ngàn dặm luôn bắt đầu từ những bước đi đầu tiên”.

To fix this, set some time aside to list the things you want to achieve in life. Then, select the top three or four that you want to focus on for the next year. Look at your goals every night before bedtime and ask yourself what are the next actions to accomplish each day. Then, promise yourself that you will finish these tasks no matter how busy you get. If possible try completing the tasks first thing in the morning so you are assured of success.

Another common mistake regarding productivity is not considering our energy levels. If we try to work around the clock, we will eventually get tired and quit. Everyone needs time to sleep, eat, socialize with friends, and unwind from the stress of the day. To make sure you don’t burn out, be sure to schedule some time for breaks and fun activities into your schedule every day. Finally, no matter how difficult your goals may seem, remember the old saying that “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
