Do you perceive study as a heavy duty? But you can make this experience much more enjoyable and learn how to enjoy it! To do this, settle down where it will be comfortable for you to study and, from time to time, change places to study. Find the right partners for joint learning and turn the process into a cultural and educational event. Reduce the stress of your studies by taking regular breaks and rewarding yourself for your hard work. And soon you will love learning like no other!

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Choose a comfortable environment

1. 1 Choose a quiet place where you can focus on your studies. As a rule, it is best to study in a relatively quiet place so as not to lose concentration. There are many great places to practice, both at home and outside.
   • Your bedroom can be a great place to study. The main thing is that there is a writing desk. Studying in bed can make you sleepy.
   • If your room doesn't have a desk, try studying at the kitchen table or at a computer desk somewhere in the house. Ask family members to speak more quietly.
   • Try studying in a public place, school, or university library. There are often quiet areas with tables where you can work out in peace. You may even be able to book a class for a few hours (if available).
   • Some people like to practice when there is a little noise in the background. If this is your case, try studying at a café.
2. 2 Keep the training area clean. Clutter and clutter can be distracting and discouraging learning, making the process unpleasant. Organize your desk or other designated classroom space and sort your study materials. Make sure you have a space to use during the process and where you can spread your textbooks.
3. 3 Get rid of anything that might distract you. To make the most of your study time, make sure there are no distractions nearby to worry about.Turn off your TV, radio, and computer, and put aside your phone, leisure reading material, and video games. You can enjoy learning if you can immerse yourself in it.
   • If you are using your computer for educational purposes, try installing a dedicated browser application, such as StayFocusd or Freedom, to filter out distracting sites during your class.
4. 4 Change places to practice. If possible, move the learning process to a new location. Grab your textbooks and laptop and study in a relaxing environment like a café, park, or beach. A pleasant environment will boost your mood and make your studies seem less dull and monotonous.
   • If you find yourself easily distracted during class, choose a library or other isolated place to study without interruption.

Method 2 of 4: Make Learning More Interesting

1. 1 Use colored teaching materials. Maintain your interest in your studies by using bright and colorful stationery to mark up and jot down ideas. These can be pens and paper, note cards, stickers, markers, and stickers. Adding color will make the learning process more fun, and will also activate the creative part of your brain, which will help you better absorb the material.
2. 2 Play background music while studying. Atmospheric music makes learning more enjoyable and stimulates the brain without distracting you. Try playing classical music or soundtracks to play in the background while you practice. Set the volume to a low level and avoid harsh or loud compositions that interfere with concentration.
3. 3 Watch instructional videos. Learning about textbooks and notes can be boring, so to make the process more fun, look for instructional videos on the same topics. Videos can be an effective teaching tool as it piques student interest and makes the material clearer. When searching for online videos with reliable information, make sure that they:
   • made by an expert in the field (for example, a health video should be filmed by a highly qualified doctor)
   • have links to third-party sources of information either in the video or in the description under the video
   • manufactured or approved by a reputable institution
4. 4 Turn objects and notes into pictures. Drawing will help you learn the material and will not let you get bored while studying. Instead of reading or rewriting notes, draw pictures to convey information.
   • For example, if you are studying biology, draw pictures of cells and organisms. Sign their respective parts.
   • If you're studying literature, create a comic strip about major events in a novel or story.
   • If you are studying business or government policy, you can draw a diagram or graph that reflects trends.
5. 5 Write a song based on your notes to make it easier to remember. This fun activity will help you absorb the information much easier. Write a song by playing it a couple of times in your head. If necessary, you can use a melody from a popular song.
   • For example, turn math equations into a song, or sing about historical figures in chronological order.

Method 3 of 4: Learn with Other People

1. 1 Find training partners with similar habits. Get to know the people in your class better and take the time to ask about their teaching methods. Look for a potential training partner who likes to study around the same time of day as you and who uses similar training methods. Ask if he wants to study with you sometimes. This will make the learning process less isolated and boring.
   • For example, if you prefer to study in the library at night (if possible), look for a learning partner who does the same.
   • You can ask about study habits like this: "I can only study normally in the library. What helps you?"
   • Don't study with friends or classmates who will distract you greatly.
2. 2 Test your partner's knowledge to learn on your own. Discuss training materials with a partner to gain a new perspective and better understanding of the topic. Ask him questions about the course content to check what information he has learned, and ask him to do the same with you. You can turn it into a fun game where you need to collect points and answer questions as quickly as possible.
   • Ask questions as if you were giving an oral exam, and then go over the correct answers together.
3. 3 Create a collaborative learning group. Gather a group of fellow students who have a common goal, such as preparing for an important exam. Set up a schedule of regular meetings where everyone can fit, such as a classroom in the library (if available). Distribute tasks so that the majority of the group is active, and work together to solve difficult problems.
   • Learning with a group of people is a great way to actively tackle topics that you don't understand or just don't like to learn.
   • The social aspect of group meetings will make learning an enjoyable experience. It is also a good way to make new friends.

Method 4 of 4: Take breaks and reward yourself

1. 1 Schedule regular breaks during training. Set aside 10 minutes of rest for each hour of class. Taking breaks will lower your stress levels and help you retain what you've learned. If you are studying with peers, study breaks can help combat the feelings of isolation that sometimes arise during school.
   • Use a clock or alarm to time your class.
   • You can use breaks for quick things like going to the bathroom, grabbing a snack, or calling a friend.
2. 2 Take a walk during your break to avoid sleepiness. If you feel sleepy while studying, movement will help you to cheer up. Instead of surfing the internet during your break, get up from your desk. Stretch and run in place. And then walk around the room for five minutes.
3. 3 Reward yourself at regular intervals during your class. Before you start learning, set "milestones" by which you will reward yourself for hard work. You can measure these achievements at specific intervals or the amount of material covered. Choose specific rewards ahead of time, be it edible treats, entertainment, or leisure activities.
   • Choose a reward that you won't enjoy for too long.
   • For example, for every two hours of training, you can enjoy yourself watching one episode of a half-hour series.
   • If you are rewarding yourself with a snack, choose something healthy and energizing, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grain cookies, cheese, yogurt, and almonds.
4. 4 Break the material into smaller pieces to avoid burnout. Studying too much information at a time can feel overwhelmed. Instead, divide your notes into smaller sections. Every time you master a certain part, you will feel a sense of satisfaction!
   • For example, instead of trying to memorize all the equations, focus on one or two at a time. Only add the following when you have mastered the previous ones.
   • If you are studying history, arrange your notes by event, historical figure, or time period. For example, you can study a 10-year period in a single approach, or focus on the consequences of a single historical event.
   • You can arrange for breaks after you finish the small section. This will help you rest a little more as you study the material.
5. 5 Set the reward more seriously. To motivate yourself to achieve big learning goals, come up with a sizable reward for hard work.For example, if you've been preparing for the midterm exam all weekend and have completed all the material, treat yourself to tickets to a concert at the end of next week. Keeping an attractive stimulus in mind will make the learning process more enjoyable.
