Learning To Love Studying

Wolfpack Academics

This episode is part two of a two part series, called Learning to Love Studying. The first episode is titled "Combat College Procrastination".
Are you someone who has never really "got" studying? You didn't do it much in high school, you don't like to do it, and now you're in college and feeling lost. More important than anything though, you want to know how to study without it sucking quite so much. If you think that's impossible I've got some strategies here that can change your mind, and it starts with reconsidering how we think of "studying"!
Today I'm going to talk about how to learn to enjoy studying, even just a little bit. After I talk about the strategy for setting yourself up to have feelgood study sessions, I'll talk about some of the research I used to come up with these strategies.
At the end of my talk I'll go over some of the research papers I pulled my information from, and I'll further discuss how to implement ideas from both episodes in the series to have a complete strategy on avoiding distractions and increasing your study motivation!
You can also find a free companion worksheet to this series on my Kofi page, or on my website: wolfpackacademics.com
