How to make studying fun

Study is often seen as unenjoyable and whilst not everything can be the most entertaining studying can certainly be made more interesting. Using interesting resources and techniques that you actually enjoy can be beneficial in making studying more engaging.

Creating colourful and aesthetically pleasing mind maps and notes is one of my go to motivators when studying feels boring. I create a colour palette that I feel matches the subject and make aesthetic study notes, flash cards and anything else I need. This can not only make studying feel different and creative but it also helps with memory recall in exams as that set of colours will help spark your memory and can help connect key concepts together.

Teaching the content to a friend or family member. Talking about what you study can help make it more fun as you the other person can ask questions and engage in the learning. This not only allows you to further study the subject in depth but it can also help identify weak points that are not fully understood. Being able to teach the content often means that you fully understand it.

Creating a study playlist can also be a fun motivation booster. Although it isn't actively studying the act of making something that you enjoy for when your studying can help you feel prompted to study. This playlist should only be listened to when you are studying and before the exam to further memory retention and help link content. Making a playlist that is for studying can also help you feel more productive and can promote actual studying.

Finally getting into a routine is one of the most effective ways. If you're used to not studying at all then studying with most definitely feel boring but once you get into a routine of studying for an hour or two each night you won't need as much motivation because that is just what you do.
