This forum is full of people who can but won't do. I'm one of them.
While conscientiousness is considered a personality trait, and therefore relatively stable, it can be fostered. It's something that takes effort even for those people who have it, though it takes them less effort to maintain.
I want it. But I'm not conscientious enough to change myself. So what I'm going to (at least try to) do is compile the various advantages that conscientiousness can unlock, and hopefully at some point the cost/benefit trade-off will be apparent enough to me that I'll cut the cord and improve somewhat.
So here's the first one: I'm big but you can read the bits that are relevant while ignoring 99%
Scheduling in distributed practice is a superior method of learning. It's almost a no-brainer. But it requires organisation and constant effort. It's an efficient method for those who can manage their time well. If I were conscientious enough I would have a much easier time with my education. The methods I currently use are short-sighted and quite frankly stupid to persist with.
