How do I build my "academic stamina", or learn to like studying?

What I mean is, I can only read non-fiction text for about 10 minutes at a time. It just doesn't hold my interest. I do remember when I used to enjoy studying, though, when I was in junior high. Any ideas on how I can return to that? Obviously, it's required reading, so I can't just pick things that interest me.

There will always be subjects you enjoy and ones you do not. Regardless, you need to bury yourself in your studies. Turn off the TV, turn off the radio, and simply immerse yourself in your studies. Study until you have to get up, take a 5 minute break, then go back - but do not get up for at least 10 minutes more than the first time you studied, no matter what. If you fall asleep, take a short nap, then get back into it.





You just have to do it.
Reply:Well I have the same problem, I find it helps if you sit with a group of friends and study together, maybe have some quiet music on in the background, or take notes to keep you busy.





When you have a group of you, its best because you can discuss the text also its another way of focusing your attention!
Reply:Someone either enjoys learning/studying or they don't'; otherwise the process will always be a "chore".
