Hi Kpeeps, I hope that my tips for dead week has been somewhat helpful for you all thus far in helping you study. Here is your tip of the day! When you categorize courses as interesting and boring subjects, you are putting yourself in a certain mindset that you need to get out of ASAP. Putting yourself in that mindset will only make every attempt to learn it harder. Not only are you putting yourself in a position where will you want to study boring subjects less but even worse is that when you do study, you’ll end up wasting your time because you will remember less. Our brains don’t remember everything equally. Thus to effectively use your time, you have to make yourself want to learn. An approach to studying subjects you hate: It may seem a little bit obscure but one of my personal solutions to studying subjects I do not find fun initially is by forcing myself to smile as I read the material and work out the problems. Whenever I smile, it is a sort of a reflex to think that whatever I am doing must actually be enjoyable. Im not really quite sure why it works for me but here is a another way to think about it. For anyone who has ever worked as a receptionist or dispatcher or any job similar, have you ever tried sounding mean over the telephone while you were smiling? For me it is something quite hard to do and I guess the effort to try and smile as I do a task is enough for me to make tasks I hate more tolerable. Im interested to find out what you all think of these past few tips so if you have time, message me about it! If this is something youre interested in, check out this video or you can google theory of incongruity humor. It is what I based this tip on. -academic chair
