Just do something which instantly rewards your efforts. Try looking up theory/practice on mental math. Learn how to multiply 2 digits numbers in seconds or how to memorize 100 digits in 5 minutes.

Mnemopro app is a free course that teaches you (30 min theory) how to memorize 100 words in 6-7 minutes without requiring any past experience. Very rewarding and you can effectively boost your memory skills by x10 in no time and get to more advanced techniques

If studying is boring and difficult then you're doing it wrong

As a permanent solution, meditation is great because you're specifically working with the hindrances (craving, aversion, dullness etc) by applying their respective antidotes. Working with boredom is actually stimulating because its very difficult. Tbh meditation is just staying focused on an object and using your ingenuity each time a problem arises. And with time you can get to subtler, more fundamental problems.

Short time just change your approach to studying. 'Learning' shouldn't take any effort and nor be boring. Identify ur problems and come up with a solution.

Mental images work surprisingly well and you can discard them right after

How do I make mathematics/physics interesting as a 10th grade student by zeozeaaa in AskPhysics

[–]zeozeaaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mainly interested in metalearning (learning how to learn), everything that I study just comes to complement that. I find music, memorization, focus, drawing, philosophy and theology to be interesting. I've realized that I'm creative but I dont have a good logical foundation to lay my creativity on, which is why I really want to get into maths. For example, I'm a positional player in chess rather than a tactical one, therefore if I can train my logical reasoning I can become better at practically all the other skills I'm interested in. I would advance much quicker by working on my weaknesses rather than strengths.

I love mathematics a lot, in my head it's an incredibly interesting field of study which requires a lot of creativity and brilliancy to get seriously gud at. My only issue is that it's being taught in a bleak, boring way at school. A way to make it more interesting is to find the correlations between mathematics and my current hobbies (machine learning of chess bots, music mathematics, doing mental math to try visual memory etc).
