Marco's approach to solving his problems with studying failed because he did not establish reasonable subgoals. Instead of breaking up his study sessions into manageable chunks, he tried to study for six straight hours every night. This made it difficult for him to sustain his studying and led him to give up when he couldn't handle it. If he had established reasonable subgoals, he may have had more success with his studying approach.
