You undoubtedly crammed for a test somewhere in the past. Didn’t we all?
Every time I crammed, I promised myself that I would never do that again.
And then it would happen again.
I’m sure I was not alone in this crazy cycle.
Years later I discovered something very interesting.
Cramming works! Studies have shown that people actually do better when they cram for a test. At least they do better on the test, retention may be a different matter.
At it’s roots cramming is nothing more than marching up against a deadline.
We all know that a deadline keeps our focus sharp.
The deadline for achieving our New Year’s goals we established at the beginning of this year is only roughly 52 days away!
Now is the perfect time to reflect on how we are doing. At the same time, now is the perfect time to plan out next year’s goals.
A lot can be accomplished in 52 days if we focus. At the same time, the more momentum we create in the next 52 days, the more we will carry into 2022.
Cramming now is a win-win!
