Most people try to “push harder” when they want to learn something new. However, for top learners, they rely on systems that make learning automatic. Here are the routines that work: 1️⃣ Detailed intentions: Instead of “I’ll study more,” use: “When I finish lunch, I’ll review for 15 minutes.” Your brain follows specific cues better than vague goals. 2️⃣ Active recall over rereading: If you’re highlighting the same sentence over and over, you’re probably not learning. Test yourself before you feel ready, that’s when real memory formation happens. 3️⃣ Micro-commitments: 5–8 minutes of focused effort beats 45 minutes of distracted scrolling. Small wins build momentum, and momentum builds consistency. These routines work for anyone juggling multiple priorities. Build routines that make learning easier. Save this for your next study block. 📘

👋 Meet Sharon (Sean) Rolel, a Staff Software Engineer at Coursera! Sean has worked at Coursera for over seven years, starting as an intern and, over time, advancing into his current role on the Site Reliability Engineering team. Here are his top skills: 1️⃣ Looking at the big picture: “Communicating with other engineers and teams to build solutions that have the most outsized impact.” 2️⃣ Debugging and general problem solving: “I often have to debug code and infrastructure that I'm not totally familiar with. Being able to immerse myself in the unknown while still having the confidence to get to the bottom of a problem is invaluable.” 3️⃣ Balancing delivery and maintainability: “Being able to ship quickly while taking on calculated tech debt and making a real, documented plan to pay it back later.” 🌟 Sean’s career advice: “Always aim to expand your visibility and sphere of influence. That can be leading impactful projects, coming up with innovative ideas, or just being helpful to other people outside your immediate team.”

Big January goals feel exciting, until week two hits. That’s when energy settles and motivation softens, however this is the chance to start small and keep going. The most effective learners, leaders, and teams rely on micro-actions, the smallest version of a skill you can do consistently. Here’s why tiny steps carry you further than big ones: 1️⃣ They make starting easier. Your brain is more willing to start when the task feels “too small to fail.” 2️⃣ They stack into identity. A 10-minute action every day builds more progress than a 2-hour sprint once a month. 3️⃣ They generate momentum. Once you start, you naturally do more. 4️⃣ Consistency > intensity. Skills compound when you show up regularly. Instead of: “I’m going to master Excel this month.” Try: “I’ll do one lesson today.” Instead of: “I’ll build a new career plan this week.” Try: “I’ll clarify one skill gap today.” Your January doesn’t need a reinvention. It just needs a starting point. 👉 If you want to learn consistently this year, begin with any course: one video, one quiz, one practice. Our 50% discount on Coursera Plus makes the first step easier. https://bit.ly/4qytc0G
