The sleep improvements I just described brought me a huge boost of motivation as well. Sleeping less means getting up early so when I get out of bed at around 5 in the morning getting on the balcony and taking a deep breath while watching the sun go up is a huge energy boost.

For my next recommendation, I am a bit biased because I am a long term admirer of Brian Tracy and his work. I listened to every single audiobook and read most of his book and I can honestly say that they turned my life around.

Even now if I need a pep talk I get one of his audiobooks and listen to it. It contains 21 practical tips to change the way you work on tasks. Let me quote the one single truth Brian Tracy mentions in his book:. Throughout my career, I have discovered and rediscovered a simple truth. The ability to concentrate single-mindedly on your most important task, to do it well and to finish it completely, is the key to great success, achievement, respect, status, and happiness in life.

This is an incredible motivator and the book teaches you how to get there. The skill to learn how to do unpleasant things right away is really something that can turn your life around. Even if you would only get this one thing done every morning and take the rest of the day off you would still eat frogs every year! Imagine where that would get you. The other great effect of this method is that everything else during the day seems so much easier because the ugly frog is already gone.

Another thing I like about the book is that it aligns with the Time Management methods I introduce below. This is what Tracy also uses as a basic strategy for his OPIR book reading strategy Overview, Preview, Intensive view, and Review of which you can read all about in my article here.

It basically categorizes all tasks into classes from A Super important, have a significant impact when not completed to E Eliminate — tasks that bring you nowhere or might even hurt your progress. Now that we have more time each day and the motivation to get started it is crucial to make the best out of every minute. This book recommendation is probably the most difficult one to pick because there are so many Time Management approaches out there. Most important was that the method is easy to learn and use without complex tables, planning, and tools.

Both methods below do not require anything except a notepad and a pen, a timer and the knowledge on how to do them. Here is a short summary of both techniques and the books that explain them the best:. On a very basic level, the Pomodoro technique slices the day in manageable chunks of time interrupted by a short break. Especially for studying this method is very effective because or brain is not able to stay focused for longer periods of time as studies have shown.

The name Pomodoro which is Italian for tomato comes from the Kitchen Timer the inventor used to create this technique which has the shape of a tomato.

What I like about this method is that it uses a timer that forces you to stay on the task and I even found the ticking sound very supportive. Ticking off those chunk of times and tasks from your daily ToDo list is very motivating and creates a feeling of accomplishment. This book goes beyond the simple explanation of the technique which was originally invented by Francesco Cirillo.

The book comes with a lot of background information and explains the influence of the Agile approach taken from software engineering that is used in this technique. The GTD method is something you might have heard of already because it is a very popular method from Tim Allen to help you organize all your tasks and categorize them so you work on what is most important.

I found this to be a very effective method when it comes to working on specific tasks but for studying I prefer the timeboxed approach from the Pomodoro technique. When you can get other important tasks out of the way with the GTD method and then use the Pomodoro technique for the study time you are well prepared.

Surprisingly there is no book available that focuses on this topic I might as well write one. But no worries, I did a lot of research and wrote many articles about this topic so here is a summary of the most important aspects of your study environment and the tools to use:.

When I started to redesign my study room the first thing was to place the desk in the right spot. I always thought that putting the desk in front of a window not only gives me a lot of natural light but also a nice view into the garden so I could relax my eyes once in a while. After doing some research I found out that that is actually wrong. The 3 main rules to follow when placing your desk are:. Having a window in front of you makes your mind wander staring out of the window and sometimes with direct sunlight creates a huge contrast and makes it hard to look at the computer screen or into your book.

Having a wall in front of you is quite depressing, the best thing is to have a strong supporting wall behind you and no window. Other improvements to your study room should be to uncluttered it and tidy it up! This book is a self- study guide for improving English speaking skills. If you follow the book and do the exercises, you will quickly see your speaking improve.
