At de Lange provided information on the question:

> How can we manage our self-learning of these seven essentialities?

Thank you, At, for your effort to explain about your learning methodology.
I should have known this before I started at university - it would have
made my studies much more effective. And I am happy that I didn't know it
as long as I had to go to school. I liked school and being tought by a
teacher, and I am quite happy that I didn't realise, what a prison it was.

Your methodology requires a new organisation of time and I am wondering
how to change my habbits.

There is a lot of chaos around me, which I like as being stimulating, but
an increasing amount of this chaos requires my action, which I hate. I
need to be the one who takes the pieces I act on and I want to choose the
amount of time I need to spend on these pieces until I am satisfied with
what I have accomplished. This includes my participation in this list. I
think this is along the lines of self-learning.

But how to deal with the necessaties, I don't like? They need to be done,
yet they make me upset. My father would attest me lack of discipline and
hedonismus. What kind of management helps with this chaos from outside?

Is there anybody out there, who can help with this? I am not looking for
time-management rules. I know them all up to Covey. But they don't help -
I mean may be they would help but I can't manage to put them into action.
It reminds me of At's example with the "complex harvesting": It sounds
easy when you read about, but in reality, it is much more complex.

Yet, I am sure that time-"management" is essential to self-learning.

Thank you,
Winfried
