Why Studying is Boring, and How to Trick your Brain to Enjoy it

I used to think studying was so boring. How could I make studying and learning fun? How could I make it more enjoyable? However, after studying for over 10+ years to become a doctor, I realized that I was approaching my studies completely wrong. And that studying is actually very fun if we know how. In this video I'll be sharing 3 lessons that allowed me to trick my brain into loving studying and how to not feel bored.

🙏 Thanks for watching!

0:19 learning sweet spot for challenge (too challenging vs. not challenging enough)
2:45 studying information that feels useless or unimportant
4:34 viewing studying like a chore

conclusion:
1. learning the sweet spot for a challenge is important, challenging yourself but not too much, but you have to do it with the mindset of how you can challenge yourself in a way that makes you think about what you're learning.
2. we enjoy subjects that we can relate to ourselves or real world situations, so find a way to make the boring or "unimportant" subjects relate to real life situations to make it interesting.
3. seeing studying as a chore is because of perceived control, change your mindset from NEEDING to study to WANTING to study.

For me, I regard knowledge as a magic, which is abtract thing but it’s powerful to make anything objectively. for example, Your house isn’t built randomly to be your house but it’s built by someone who knows about Engineering or architecture. So i think knowledge is powerful and i wanna improve my tools (study methods) to grab all of magic inspirationally.

When I was in college I associated studying with the vision of the end goal. Being able to focus on that got me through so many "boring" classes.

sweet spot of challenge
how can you challenge yourself to think about what you are learning more? (eg linking different flashcards together, using analogies)
make it relevant to the real world
instead of seeing it as chore, view it as a lens of gratitude (that you want to study and enjoy it!)

Been watching yall for a WHILE now, but this might be the best video yet in terms of brevity, analogies, visuals, examples, and # of topics yall hit! Yall have a talent for breaking things down, keep it up bros!

The vid was amazing! 🔥

But honestly studying is fun if we are allowed to study what we like, but obviously, schools do not let us! for example: I can study maths or mechanics (physics) for hours and hours on end but at end they wouldnt be that useful to me since they would ask questions in the competitive exam or school exams from a fixed set of topics!

I was watching other videos for my exam prep and I came across your video
And I changed my way of studying and I was happy to hit that sweet spot 🤩❤
Thank you for helping me out with my studies for my exam 😊😌

[thaisecairess]

Very useful indeed, I´ll practice as of today... tks

[sanagakhar]

I’ve been watching your videos since so long and trying to motivate myself to do better everyday and not procrastinate or follow a study technique that suits me. I have seen a little changes in me but not what I expected
but unfortunately I’m back to square one the next day and I basically make no output and just end up scrolling and bored
my question is a little lame but how can I improve myself on this?

[Rasaddaya_Pabasari]

Love you both..boys 💗 Thanks for the tips 👏🏻❤

Hey Cajun, I was wondering if you could make a video talking about your allergy and how you find a way out because I am also suffering from it and I have spent past 10 years in finding a cure but seems impossible and i believe there's many out there having the same issue.

Sorry if irrelevant

[misuapolozan]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I wanna say, studying ain't no boring to me. I love studying especially math, what I've realized I struggle with is heavy emotions around exams

Do you have tips on how not to be nervous when you’re called on for a question. This is my fear.
