What will you learn?

1
WHY: Mindset & motivation
Everything starts in the mind. Literally. If you’ve ever told yourself, 'I’m not cut out for this,' we’re here to show you that it’s not true. We start from the foundation: the mindset that builds (or breaks) your success. Because whatever you think - whether you can or you can’t - you’re right.

You will learn how your mindset affects whether you put in effort, how you respond to mistakes, and why some give up after their first B while others learn more from it than from an A. Spoiler: it’s all in the mindset.

"'I’m lazy.' 'I’m unlucky.' 'I’ll never be good at this.' You will learn how these thoughts arise, how to recognize them, and how to replace them with thoughts that support you. Yes, it is possible to rewire your own mind.

If you don’t know what you want and lack motivation, you will learn that motivation doesn’t happen by chance. It is created when you have goals that truly matter to you. Because when you know your why, you’ll find the how.

2
You know those days when the whole day passes and you haven’t accomplished anything, except thinking about it? Here, you’ll learn how to manage your time, maintain focus, and build habits that deliver results.
HOW: Habits, Time Management & Focus

You will learn how habits work and how to build them so they work for you, not against you. You’ll recognize which habits are stealing your time, energy, and focus, and learn how to replace them with better ones.

You will learn how to organise your week - for school, studying, and rest. You’ll get proven productivity tools used by the most productive people in the world and learn how to stop procrastinating. No more panic or guilt!

You will learn how to achieve deep focus and get more done in 25 minutes than in two hours. In a world full of distractions, focus is the superpower of the 21st century that puts you among the top 1%—at school, university, and work.

WHAT: Learning to learn
Everything you know about learning is (probably) wrong. If you study by reading, highlighting, and taking notes until it sticks, this module is for you. It’s not that you’re studying too little - you’re studying the wrong way. And we’re going to change that. You will learn how to study and remember at turbo speed.

Naučit ćeš kako tvoj mozak zaista usvaja znanje (spoiler - šokirat ćeš se). Naučit ćeš tehnike aktivnog učenja koje ne traže više vremena ali donose puno više rezultata. Doslovno možeš učiti manje, a znati više.

You will learn techniques used by world memory champions. And believe me, they’re not geniuses. They just know ancient tricks that you will learn too—tricks that will forever change your relationship with learning.

Marija
high school student
I use the two-minute rule every day whenever I struggle with procrastination. This has always been a problem for me, especially when I had to start writing a paper. I really enjoyed the chapters on beliefs and mnemonic techniques. I highly recommend it to EVERYONE, not just students. :)
sonja

The materials are very interesting and educational. I studied teaching with a focus on Croatian studies and sociology, and I’ve been working as a Croatian language teacher for ten years. I was surprised by how much information in the guide I encountered for the first time. I’m almost certain that none of my professors at university knew what you cover in the guide, nor do most of my colleagues. Even if they do, it was never mentioned. I think this is material that every teacher should read.

An excellent guide for high school students! It’s short, clear, and designed for practical use—I use it in my homeroom class. The topics are great, the exercises are simple enough for students to actually complete, yet cleverly designed to spark discussion and, even more importantly, their own intrinsic reflection. The material follows modern concepts of learning, awareness, and habit change. I see changes in the classroom, which is why I can truly recommend it.

I definitely recommend this guide to all parents of elementary school children. I learned how to make learning easier for them and realized that I had been doing many things wrong before. I also use the information about habits, time management, and goals myself. :)
Mladen
teacher
Brodoto is one of the strongest associations in Croatia, and it’s always a pleasure to collaborate with them. I recommend this guide to all students, colleagues, and parents. Even though I continue to educate myself, I found a ton of methods in it that I will use in my own work.
Nikola

Teaching in the modern age is becoming an increasing challenge every day. For example, one of these challenges is AI, which has given students an easier path, ultimately encouraging laziness and passivity. While we can limit this approach in the classroom, we cannot control what they do or how they work at home. That’s why I believe we need to fundamentally change students’ relationship with learning and self-development, because school is easy to get through, but real life awaits them afterward. The exercises and questions in this guide have been incredibly helpful to me in that regard.
Leon B.
PhD student
It wasn’t until I started my PhD that I realized I had forgotten how to study—or rather, how little I actually knew about studying. This guide showed me that learning itself is a skill that can be learned and perfected. It was easy when I had all the time in the world as a school and university student, but as a full-time PhD student, I view time as a precious commodity. Like any skill, learning becomes faster and easier when you know what you’re doing and have the right mindset. In this regard, this guide helped me the most, as it provided all the necessary tools to manage my time more effectively without constantly feeling overwhelmed by obligations.
Martina

Read in one sitting, and I can’t wait to start studying. I feel calmer about the final exams.

About author

Symbol
Lucija Dugalija

When Brodoto (NGO behind this guide) conducted a survey in high schools across Croatia, the results surprised me. An astonishing 97% of schools highlighted “learning how to learn” as the most important skill for their students. Learning how to learn! That’s my passion! I could write a book about it. In fact, if I could choose what to do for the rest of my life, I would just learn.

I have two university degrees (History, Croatian Studies, and Journalism) and ten years of volunteering with youth through Brodoto. Working in schools showed me the limitations of the system, which I didn’t like, so instead of pursuing a teaching career, I built a career as an business consultant and (self-taught!) financial advisor for some of Croatia’s largest corporations.

After my daughter was borned, I wanted a calmer life and to return to working with youth, which is when the idea for this guide was born. It combines everything I’ve learned and done: academic knowledge, professional experience, and methods that helped me survive one of the most stressful jobs - consulting, where constant learning, performing under pressure, meeting high expectations, and tight deadlines are required.

I hope this guide will help those who read it. I know that my own education would have been much easier if I had had the knowledge and tools I share here.

F.A.Q.

Symbol

Will this guide really help me get better grades?

This guide is designed to give you the tools, techniques, and mindset to study more effectively, focus better, and manage your time and habits. While it doesn’t magically give you better grades, it teaches you how to learn in a way that naturally leads to improved understanding, retention, and performance. So yes, if you apply what you learn, it can definitely help you achieve better results.

How quickly will I see results?

If you haven’t had a system so far, even your first exam or test can show progress. Some students notice improvements in confidence and memory after just one week of studying with these techniques.

What age group is the guide for?

The guide is primarily aimed at young people aged 14 and up. However, parents who want to support their elementary school children, as well as teachers of students of all ages, can also find useful tools in it.

Will I still need tutoring?

Maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on how much you apply the methods. The goal of the guide is to show you how to become independent and trust your abilities so that, over time, you won’t need tutoring at all.

In which subjects does it help? Is it applicable to math?

The guide doesn’t just help with one subject - It teaches you how to learn. The techniques you learn can be applied to anything: math, physics, languages, history, biology, or law. Likewise, mindset, habits, goals, motivation, and focus are all skills you will use for your entire life.
