When I was in class 11thor may be twelth... I would practice physics and maths for hours and hours in a day.
I should say that I loved those exercises but after some time it would become boring. I would recognize most of the patterns in question and that would bore me even further.
This phenomenon is dangerous... because your brain could potentially fool you in not solving those problems where your assumed patterns could have been wrong.
After some time I had devised an ingenious method hack my way around that problem.
I would pick a number of questions that I would do in a particular sitting, and I would compel myself to practice enough question every day while listening to epic music.
Even though, on the conscious level my brain new that I was more or less doing repetitive thing but as I had complemented it with a passive activity that I enjoyed doing; I was able to pull it off, to a large extent.
After many year I heard Dan Ariely( Duke University, psychology proff)
who suggested that he had devised a mechanism to work on delayed gratifying activities.
When I heard that speech on TED, I was like.... WTF ... I have been practicing this thing for ages. Just because some proff. from a reputated university is saying the same thing, I am more convinced about the fact.
From now onward, I will learn to trust my own experimental result.... even more.
As some proff. in some university would find it later.
I know anecdotal evidence as not considered sufficient, Hence I will document every relevant thought that goes through my mind. So that, if the same thing happens again... the world will have some basis to judge the validity of my assertion.
Keep Smiling... keep improving...
