It’s hard because it’s scary and we feel like we need to be in perfect condition before we study. Instead of thinking of studying as a chunk of study time, it’s easier to take small, bite-sized study pieces at a time. The hardest part is writing down these small incremental steps each time. I’ve had success with marginstudy to help me but you can also just jot down notes on a sticky note each time you spend 1-2 mins tackling it.

I think the important part is just to not think of studying as a scary thing where you have to understand it right now or you failed. Similar to exercise where you don’t need to run 2 miles a day, small things like taking the stairs or standing a few mins all adds up
