Discovering myself

I first came across this program in grade 12 of high school and I was a little bit doubtful about it One thing that also discouraged me was that I was a straight A student and I was determined to use the same studying habits I have always used to continue my studies in the university I paid for this program regardless with thoughts that my younger siblings will be able to benefit from it also but I did not go through it After getting so many studying strategies from the university before classes started to prepare me and other students for the tests exams and other things I decided to actually see what the program is about but after looking at how many modules I will need to go through I became scared and lazy so I just kept it away However after the studying habits I had used in high school did not work as efficiently for my university classes I began to feel guilt because there is a secret elevator study smarter I know of that can help me get to the first floor of this 50 story building good grades faster but I chose to use the stairs Even when I got so frustrated tired felt like a failure and did not want to continue I still did not use the elevator It was after my first semester I then told myself that I need to do better not only for myself but for my younger siblings who look up to me as an inspiration to continue to push further in their education However I tend to procrastinate a lot especially if it has little or nothing to do with a deadline or school related I was grateful and happy when I found out about the 28 Day accountability program because I knew that this will definitely keep me on my feet and will help me stay focused because I have to show that I did it I never thought that much about my life outside studying because I did not see the point of it Why would I spend my time talking with my friends and family when I can use that time to study and learn more To worsen this I am an introvert so that just justifies everything I felt I had never thought of balancing my studying habits and my life outside studying until Dr Hugo explain how important it is My parents always told me my friends will still be there when I need them and if not I can just make other friends but I will be unable to make up for the time I lost if I do not study I chose to follow that advice to the extreme and most of the times I am kept in the dark of whatever fun things my friends have been enjoying Another thing Dr Hugo made me realize is that I need to take action Now this is something I struggle with I tell myself Okay today I will do this I will do that However before the blink of an eye it is already 9pm and I have done none of those things This goes hand-in-hand with me being a procrastinator and all I have all this great plans in my head and how to achieve them but I do not move a muscle I also get distracted easily and would blame my siblings for being too loud my parents for making me run errand when I have finally settle down and forced myself to actually study Dr Hugo said Focus on what you can control and do not try to change things that are out of your control I do the opposite of this and I have never thoughts deeply of this until he mentioned it I have decided to take full responsibilities for my actions and not blame others because that is not what successful people do Finally I am black and to my family failure is not an option They have this look of Once a failure always a failure I advise others to embrace their failures but I do not do that because I know the consequences and judgement I would face at home Also I have always felt pressure because most people that know me believe I am so smart and things like studying should be easy for me I should be able to understand what is taught in class without thinking much or having a question to ask This made me develop a distance between me and my teachers I will be so nervous and unable to ask questions in class even though my teachers would encourage me and say Only the smartest students ask questions This could not beat the fact that my friends and class mates believe that if a topic is difficult for me to understand then they will never understand So I hide it anytime I do not understand things and will study until late at night so I can explain to those who do not understand later I did not want to lose that effect I have on them and seem like a failure I also do not want to disappoint my parents who have high hopes for me I came across lots of issues that are related to me in not just studying but in life too It was like Dr Hugo knows me personally more than anyone else not even me knew myself that deeply or want to know myself because I am scared of what I might discover Dr Hugo forced me to look at the deepest part of myself and when I go through each modules it is like I am looking at my reflection in the mirror

A life changing experience

This course has given me so much more than just better grades since Dr Hugo instills the aspects of a growth mindset in us enabling us to decide what it is that s important to us Personally I ve been taught to come up with new goals that I can look forward to as well as how I need to manage my time to do so This course taught me to think ahead and it even shows you HOW you can get to your destination I am really glad that I signed up for this course because now I have found what I want to pursue in my life

I don t fear for my future anymore

So many things have changed since I began SSA Most notably I don t fear for my future anymore I know that no matter how hard people say university and life may be I have the knowledge and determination to overcome it My mindset is a lot more focused on growth and improvement than it was before I saw incredible progress in my mindset in my study planning in my memory and in reducing my anxiety for exams I have this huge study smarter knowledge bank in my mind and I can t wait to use it and see where it takes me Looking at it from the surface I still have many bad study habits But I know now that I can make that 1 change every day to grow so that when we come out of this pandemic I can soar This course which I stumbled upon by chance in an Instagram ad has changed my life forever and how I look at my future My hopes for my life aren t so far away anymore I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve not only their studies but their life in general

Really helpful

This has helped me so much and given me the tools and motivation to improve my study habits and take action that actually works I ve learned to have a growth mentality constantly improve myself by 1 each day A lot of what is taught doesn t only apply to studying but also to life helping to create a practical balance I went from not knowing how to study to being confident that I could achieve the goals I set for myself

The program absolutely changed my

The program absolutely changed my perspective on studying and excelling in academics Dr Hugo teaches principles and concepts that are not taught by any university and provides resources that can be applied at any education level I highly recommend the training for anyone that is either struggling academically or wants to improve their study-life balance Well worth the costs

New Mindset

After going through the Study Smarter tutorials I have become obsessed with personal development and wanting to excel in my studies while also having more free time I can honestly say this course has opened my eyes and created a shift in my mindset The most valuable thing I received was a new mindset about my own study inefficiencies and now I know how to improve them

Gained so much good stuff from SSA D

I am so grateful to learn so much from Dr Hugo I can recall the content during my exam calmly after practising active recall and spaced repetition The HILE memory method is very useful and it makes the whole memorising process so much easier Currently I am still working on the HILE numbering system so I can grasp it better and intend to use the reward heck method next to boost my efficiency even more

This course is life changing

This course is life changing I discovered this course around September 2020 from my sister who showed me the webinar from Instagram I watched the whole one hour and I was immediately amazed The different concepts that were discussed left me wanting more Examples include 80 20 rule Parkinson s law study efficiency procrastination and etc After watching the webinar I immediately went onto ways to join the course and I would 100 recommend the inner circle I like it so much I actually got my sister to join and she always agrees that it is indeed fantastic Within the inner circle there is a wonderful community of people you can ask any questions to and you can give testimonials Everyone is really supportive and Dr Hugo and team are very engaging Your questions and queries will be answered and you won t have to wait days without getting answers I have learned the importance of routine which I now implement in my day to day life and with online learning it helps so much how to beat procrastination unlimited study motivation unearthed my study inefficiencies increased my memory ten fold I can recite all the 46 presidents and so many more wonderful things Most importantly i built a good foundation to build all these things on And this valuable information I have never seen anywhere I and seen basics but never to this level
