Read and write for 15 minutes a day
A practical program to practice self-directed learning

In the AI ​​era, why self-directed learning is a necessity, not an option.
In this age of online classes, digital content, and AI learning tools, the success or failure of studying hinges on how self-directed you are.
This is because these days, it is difficult to achieve results by studying because someone told you to.
"Self-directed learning completed in 15 minutes of practice a day" is a practical guide that helps students become the masters of their own learning.

The core of self-directed learning is 'studying through reading and expression.' This book is composed of a program that helps you acquire learning motivation and study habits through hands-on experience.
Through this program, you can systematically learn the core skills of self-directed learning, such as reading and writing, mind management, and self-management.
In particular, the author presents a training method to develop textbook-centered study skills through '3SR2E (read slowly 3 times and express twice)', which was created by the author and received great response in the field.
A self-directed learning practice notebook that even helps you maintain your study mentality! This book includes a variety of activities and journals to help you recover mentally and boost motivation, including self-regulation, immersion, gratitude, and shifting perspectives.
Just 15 minutes of practice every day will change your study habits and attitude towards studying.

Of course, these digital learning tools can be of great help to students.
But no matter how many AI learning tools and online courses there are, they are useless if you don't have the ability to learn independently.
This is because studying is something that cannot be done by someone else, but is something that is achieved solely through one's own initiative and effort.
Therefore, in order to become the master of learning in the digital learning era, you must first develop self-directed learning skills.

--- From the "Prologue"

If you complete all the self-directed learning practice notes presented in the book, you can consider that you have completed the basic training in self-directed learning.
Through this process, we hope that many students will overcome the difficulties of studying, master self-directed learning, and become masters of their own learning.

Even in the digital age, the main character of learning is ultimately me.
True self-directed learning is not about passively reacting to given information, but rather leading your own learning.

Reading skills are paramount in any form of learning.
You have to be strong in text.
The prerequisite for self-directed learning is the ability to read well.
If you practice reading textbooks and reference books properly, studying becomes more fun and allows for deeper learning.

Whether you study alone or take a class, you must print out what you have learned and check it.
You shouldn't just spend time learning new things.
The process of taking out what you have learned and organizing it is essential.
If you practice printing a lot, you will naturally learn effective study methods.

Creating a preview-class-review flow is the standard and shortcut to becoming a self-directed learner.

ㆍ You can concentrate on class by studying in advance.
ㆍ If you focus on class, it becomes easier to review,
ㆍ If you review well, what you have learned will become completely yours.

Maintaining this flow is the best secret to getting good grades.

If we trace the reasons why students have difficulty studying, we can see that most of them start with the habit of 'just ignoring what they don't know.'
As the number of things you don't know piles up, the amount of things you have to understand increases, and eventually you lose interest in studying.

--- From "PART 1: Core Principles of Self-Directed Learning"

If the goal is unclear, the result will inevitably be unclear.
“I want to study hard” or “I want to become rich” are just vague wishes.
When setting goals, you must make them 'specific and clear'.
If you live your life thinking that a 'vague wish' is your goal, it's no different from shooting an arrow without a target, and you'll end up wasting your strength and energy.

Just as there are still many undiscovered frontiers in the world, there are also many areas hidden within us that have not been discovered and thus untapped.
There are jewel-like values ​​within us, but unless we shake them awake, they will remain dormant forever, never to awaken.

Immersion is a journey to find myself.
The journey will bring you a sparkling new you and a moment of emotion.

Spontaneity is the key that opens the door to opportunity.

People who act spontaneously get more opportunities.

Whether it's studying or working, let's move on our own without anyone telling us to.

At that moment, a new opportunity will open up before you.

Just because you sow seeds doesn't mean you'll get fruit right away.
It needs to be watered regularly and exposed to sunlight to grow strong.
Whether in your studies or in your daily life, you must consistently sow good seeds through positive actions to achieve appropriate results over time.

Why it's important to read and express yourself slowly
* Reading slowly increases your understanding.

* Finding important parts, underlining them, and reading will help you organize the content better.

* If you think of yourself as a teacher and teach, you will naturally be able to grasp the core.

* Expressing what you read in your own words will help you understand it more clearly and remember it longer.

As you spend more time thinking for yourself, your skills will increase and your grades will improve.
If you become lazy about thinking and rely on solving problems, your skills will inevitably stagnate.

Just by simply writing down what you studied in class like this, your learning ability will greatly improve.

Students have been focusing only on stuffing it into their heads.
I've been listening to school classes, academy classes, and online lectures diligently, and I've been trying to memorize them by listening to them over and over again.
But I rarely practiced expressing what I had learned.
This is why the results are not commensurate with the amount of study.

I told Jong-hwan, “The amount of studying isn’t the issue; it’s important to focus, even if it’s just for five minutes.” I also advised him, “Don’t try to study too much, but study accurately.”
He also added, “Just ignoring things you don’t know or putting them off by saying, ‘I’ll do it later,’ is a shortcut to not being able to study.”
And then I immediately started the 'Study Habit Creation Project'.
