When I want to study, I like to keep a loose structure that allows for me to enjoy the process of learning while having enough roadblocks in place to make sure that I stay on track with my education. My process is this: when I study the very first thing that I do is turn on classical music. The more dramatic, the better. I use it to get myself in the zone. It helps keep me focused as well as motivated. The next step, always, is breaking down whatever problem I am working on. I usually do this by writing it on a large white board which help with visualization and then I can better see how to take it step by step. Lastly of course I actually start working on the problem. I never shy away from taking advice from others when I need it. Once I have all my support in place, the answers just fly out of my head like nobody's business.
I feel like a lot of people put too much structure in place in their studying that it can actually end up hindering them in the end. I know that I'm in school to learn, but that doesn't mean that the learning that I do can't be fun. As a matter of fact, I think it should be fun. At least, that's my take on it.
