When I have to learn something new or have to do some hard work, I have this graph inside my head:

Det er vist desværre kun inde i mit hoved det ser sådan ud. I virkeligheden er der flere "bump", nogle øde strækninger, hvor man føler det som om man ingen vegne kommer. Det er gerne der, lige ved enden af en øde strækning at jeg giver op. Og det er rigtig dumt, for sådan et bump efterfølges som regel af en periode med stor fremgang.
Det ser nok nærmere sådan her ud:

This model tells me, that if I work for X hours, I'll get to the end -- whatever that might be -- with a steady progress.
The sad thing is that this model only works inside my brain. The reality looks more "bumpy" with plateaus and maybe even setbacks. And when I feel like I'm getting nowhere, I have the very human tendency to give up. This tells me that I often give up at the end of a plateau, just before progress will show again. I think it might look like this really:
The words and the scale in this model is the same. I just needed space for some bumps. |
Det er egentlig meget opmuntrende at huske på modellen med bumpene. Når jeg så føler at jeg ikke rokker mig ud af stedet, så kan jeg huske på at jeg snart begynder opstigningen mod målet igen.

Do you notice the double bump rigth before the end. That is my weak point, where I normally give up. Or was it at the big bump halfways?
This graph is very encouraging. I just have to remember that this is how it looks in real life.
