Don’t let yourself get burned out on the information you’re taking in for class. Yes, some of the content in your textbooks may be dull or hard to read, but giving up won’t help and getting frustrated can bring you to procrastinating. Instead try changing how you approach the reading or assignment.
If you have kids, do you find new and interesting ways to teach them things? If so, it’s not too far off from that concept. Just like your kids, they get bored easily if they don’t understand something, or it doesn’t catch their attention. Put yourself in their shoes and you may have a better chance of taking in the new information faster. Instead of highlighting text in your book, take a minute to grab a few of the key concepts in that chapter. Make a story using them, or create a few doodles that depict the information. This can turn into your study tools later when it comes time to taking a test. Or if you want to try a more adult alternative to keeping information interesting, try adding humor to the text in a way that’s relevant to the material.
