Teaching without pain: how to learn what is boring

After ten years at the school and a few years even the most inquisitive person in a higher education institution may admit that he was forced to learn something boring and not interesting to him personally. But even when it's time to test and exams behind our ongoing training is not completed. Very often we have to learn something you need to work or personal needs, but boring. And then it does not help cribs or copying from a neighbor, because we really need to know this boring thing, and not to create the appearance of an examiner in that we know it.

Our brain - a cunning beast, so it resists all the forces ensure that someone has got to remember something that seems boring. Deceive him in this case is useless, so I have to make compromises and tricks from the other side. In other words, we need self-disciplined and to make every effort to dull before things began to seem interested in our brain and the subconscious.

Why is it boring?

Even the most creative people are faced with the need to learn something boring, because that is the way life is. The causes of boredom may be different.

Much depends on the feed material. Often, something seems boring just because we do not accept the form in which we were served something new. Much depends on the preferences in the process of perception: someone who likes to listen to someone read, someone - do notes, and stores only in the event that will write a new own hand. Remember the school and school years and think about what type of information perception is closer to you. Try to concentrate on it. Maybe if you stop to read the boring lectures and watch videos on YouTube on the same subject, then it will go much easier. Sometimes the impression of new information deteriorates due to small parts and feeding style. Dull boring without emotion droning lectures on a single note, or somebody wrote a sheet of text without breakdowns into paragraphs and themes - there are many who can get bored. Try searching for alternatives.

If none of presenting information in a channel does not cause you to a wave of enthusiasm and interest, it is possible that the material is too complicated. Complexity - too frequent cause of boredom. To vanquish it, will have to work a little more, but these efforts will pay off handsomely. Spend the "investigation" and learn okololezhaschie items that will help you understand what you are learning. If you can, then read any version for dummies or beginners, and then proceed with the work, or the text that you really need.

Also, do not forget that the more tired we are, the more boring it seems to us new information. So get rid of fatigue and teach the most difficult and boring at the peak of its activity. It is possible that if it looks interesting and easy.

Strength

Memorization - memorizing enemy. Although poetry, of course, and you can memorize mechanically, without thinking about the words at the expense of their rhythm. But with the knowledge that you need to live, work and development, this will not work. No sense that you will be able to repeat them like a parrot will not.

The context will help get rid of boredom and deeper insight in the study. So feel free to dive into it, the more so because the Internet has made the possibility of easily accessible. Do not think about Wikipedia condescending - it often contains only the rudiments of knowledge on the subject, but the abundance of hyperlinks will enable you to understand what you need to look for context. See videos, listen to podcasts, read related to your topic. Highlight of this abundance of those aspects that seem to you personally the most interesting, and concentrate on them. For example, you need to learn a whole array of historical dates and facts. Find out how they affected the world today, both made changes to the things that you like. Such intelligent "hooks" and links will help eliminate boredom and remember better new.

There is nothing more powerful than the practice of

skukota All that you really need, is learned for practical purposes. Not necessarily wait for the practical purposes will come to you and ask that knowledge, begin to practice beforehand. If you teach a foreign language - safely be dug in communicating with foreigners and foreign forms. If you learn the formula, the tasks and invent their own. Make them fun to remember better. For new facts come up with interesting stories, pass the quiz and mini games. Make a test on the knowledge that you will be offered to the person who runs a similar course. Let him do not you ever come in handy, but in the process of creating you clearly identify the most important points in the new information.

Some practitioners may take a long time. For example, the study of programming languages ​​make you write the whole code page. Believe me, it will be time well spent, because it is the practical things we remember most strongly. Try to associate the practice with your interests or hobbies. This can bring unexpected and pleasing results. And it develops mental acuity, sense of humor and your intellectual flexibility.

The bright colors creativity

Creativity enables us to learn even very boring things. Try to work with the illustrations (their manufacture, of course), mental maps, and other visual images. Write fanfic or story associated with the study of information. Imagine how you would tell this information to young children in the form of a fairy tale or a dialogue in a puppet theater. Or maybe you would like to make a game based on the new knowledge? Whatever it was for the game as if it was built? Think about all the details. Use mnemonics and other visual techniques for storing different things with the involvement of the imagination. Usually it is visual images evoke enthusiasm and excitement. You need to learn a long list of products for your company? Let all of them are funny names of your own devising, go to the cartoon legs and talk to each other.

Perhaps the result of such activities would be very awkward, even ridiculous, but it does not matter. When you create a bright image, then memorize it and bind tightly to their own emotions and memories. This will not forget.
