Is persistence holding you back from mastering Excel?

Let’s face it—learning Excel isn’t exactly fun. Even with fancy materials or humorous explanations, it’s a practical skill that can feel boring at times.

The truth? Learning Excel isn’t difficult. Staying consistent and completing every milestone is the real challenge.

Have you ever said:

• “I want to take an Excel course to boost my skills.”

• “I’ve enrolled in an Excel course and will complete it this weekend.”

But then… nothing happens?

Let’s fix that.

6 Steps to Build Persistence and Take Action (Step-5: Asking WHY is the most important)

1. Set Clear, Achievable Goals

• Break your goal into small, actionable steps.

  • Example: “Learn 5 Excel functions this week.”

• Write down your goals and track your progress daily or weekly.

• Focus on one milestone at a time.

2. Build a Routine That Works

• Dedicate 15-20 minutes daily to Excel practice.

• Pick a consistent time (e.g., during lunch breaks or right after work).

• Pair your learning session with a reward (e.g., a cup of coffee or a short break after).

3. Keep Yourself Accountable

• Share your goal with a friend, colleague, or family member.

• Join a study group or online community to stay motivated.

• Use apps like Trello or Notion to visually track your milestones.

4. Celebrate Small Wins

• Completed a milestone? Celebrate it!

• Acknowledge progress, no matter how small (e.g., “I mastered the IF function!”).

• Reward yourself with something simple—a treat, a short movie, or a walk.

5. Overcome Procrastination

• Remind yourself why you started: Career growth? Better efficiency? Greater confidence?

• Use the “2-minute rule”—start a task for just 2 minutes. Often, you’ll keep going.

• Remove distractions during your learning time (put your phone on silent or use focus tools).

6. Focus on Practical Use

• Apply what you’ve learned to real-life tasks. For example:

  • Create a small budget tracker for personal finances.

  • Automate repetitive tasks at work with Excel formulas.

• Seeing real results will motivate you to keep going.

Final Thoughts

Consistency beats intensity. Even 15 minutes a day adds up to significant progress. Excel isn’t just a tool; it’s a key to unlocking productivity and confidence.

缺乏坚持：学习的最大挑战之一

学习 Excel 并不总是让人感到有趣。
无论如何让学习材料变得生动有趣，Excel 本质上还是一项实用技能——可能会有些枯燥。

学习 Excel 并不难，

难的是坚持完成每一个里程碑或学习节点。

我们经常听到这样的说法：

• “我想参加 Excel 课程来提升技能。”
• “我已经报名了一个 Excel 课程，这个周末会完成。”

但最终，许多人却什么都没有完成。

6 个让你坚持行动的可行步骤

1️⃣ 设定清晰且可实现的目标

• 将目标分解为小而具体的行动步骤。
  例如：“本周学习 5 个 Excel 函数。”
• 写下你的目标，并每天或每周记录进度。

2️⃣ 建立适合自己的学习习惯

• 每天花 15-20 分钟练习 Excel。
• 选择固定时间学习，例如午休时间或下班后。
• 给学习搭配奖励，例如喝杯咖啡或完成后短暂休息。

3️⃣ 保持自我监督

• 与朋友、同事或家人分享你的目标。
• 加入学习小组或线上社区，保持动力。
• 使用 Trello 或 Notion 等工具，直观地追踪学习进度。

4️⃣ 庆祝每一个小进步

• 每完成一个目标，就为自己庆祝一下！
• 认可每一个小进步，例如：“我掌握了 IF 函数！”
• 奖励自己，比如享用一顿美食、看一部短片或散步。

5️⃣ 克服拖延症

• 记住你的初衷：是为了职业发展？提高效率？还是增强信心？
• 使用“2 分钟法则”：开始做一件事 2 分钟，往往你会继续下去。
• 学习时排除干扰，例如把手机调成静音或使用专注工具。

6️⃣ 专注于实际应用

• 将学到的知识应用到实际任务中，例如：
  • 制作个人财务预算表。
  • 用 Excel 公式自动化工作中的重复任务。
• 看到成果后，你会更有动力继续学习！

最后的建议

坚持胜于强度！
即使每天学习 15 分钟，时间长了也会有显著进步。Excel 不仅仅是一个工具，更是提高生产力和自信的关键。
