Before you self-learn, your mindset must allow it happen. You can either possess a growth mindset or a fixed mindset—the former recognizes that growth will occur with sufficient effort (growth=effort), while the latter believes that growth is not a function of effort, rather luck/fate/innate talent (growth=luck). The growth mindset is what allows you to learn effectively because it espouses the belief that you can do it. Whether you can or cannot, you are correct. All the techniques in the world won’t make a difference in your learning if you don’t think it will ultimately happen for you.
