Benefits of habit “Use toilet time efficiently”
✓ Increases productivity
✓ Expands learning time
✓ Reduces time wasted
First step:
Have 1 educational toilet session
Progress:
1. Next time you go to the toilet for longer period, go through an article or some material of a learning course. Do this once this week.
2. Next week, do the same thing twice.
3. Keep increasing the number of toilet learning until every long trip to the bathroom is also a productive learning session.
Helpful tips to make it a habit:
✓ Trigger your mind. Since there isn’t always a way to plan calls of nature, set your learning apps to keep reminding you it’s time to learn something new. Also delete all time wasting apps from your phone and only have the ones you really need. That way, your brain won’t be lured to them and only focus on the learning material.
✓ Let the app help. With calendar function of this app, you can track how many days you missed on learning and how many you spent crunching your literature on the toilet.
✓ Reward yourself. Once you’ve gone a full week of toilet lectures, reward yourself by getting a new book or magazine to read. Enjoy your new habit to the fullest.
✓ Celebrate small victories. Every time you perform this habit, congratulate yourself! Say “I’m awesome” or “I’m so cool” out loud and with a smile on your face.
Tips for beginners:
✓ Be focused. Spending approximately 15 minutes on the throne each day translates to roughly 90 hours per year. It’s a lot of time, but not as much as it might seem. Choose a topic you will be handling on the throne and stick to it. Is it a new language you’re trying to learn? Install one or two apps and stick to them. Are you trying to educate yourself more on, say, economics? Install chosen newspapers’ apps and stick to them.
✓ Be efficient. Depending on how much time you’re spending on the throne, try to calculate how much material you can realistically cover in one session and try reaching for that goal.
