No matter what type of animal you are reading “boring” is just… that is unless you can change your instincts. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a business or school assignment trying to turn those pages appears as if bricks are holding them down as your eyes get heavier and heavier. Someone get me a cup of coffee …please! Here are a few tips to get you through these times and insure your rest time is hours or minutes later.
(1) HEADLINES- Study the headlines- what does it mean in a larger context then just the words in front of you.
(2) FIRST & LAST- Just like a good movie you can sorta get the basics from the opening paragraph and ending words.
(3) MINDSET- Try to put yourself in the mindset of the author as boring as he/she might appear as they wrote these words what was their true intention in such writing other then to cause you pain.
(4) REWARD- Give your self little healthy tasty snacks when you write an important concept on the topic at hand. Yes writing notes as you read is essential.
(5) SKIP- If there is a section that appears to be in a different language it’s okay to skim or even skip through it and come back to it later. You probably will find the translation better after you read the exciting parts or less boring parts.
