Hi, this is the beginning of a new work week, and you are task to do something new, something boring that we believe, and worst still something that you have never done before, and you have to learn it from scratch.

So, you ask yourself “How many times do I have to learn all these boring stuff?”.

Well, you can make it interesting. A simple way is to make the process of learning that dull subject relates to what can easily interest you. Here are some ways that you can consider creating a connection between the dull subject to your interest:

1. If you need to memorise some boring stuff…..you can  connect it to something you usually like to do, by imagining how you could apply this boring stuff to it (like mountain climbing, writing your blog, managing your finances etc…).
2. If you hate to need to learn a new kind of software tool for a project that you are managing….. you can imagine how you can apply the usage of the software to what you can potentially make money for you, e.g. to enhanced your website, you blog or your internet marketing business. You can also see whether that software can be used to enhance your daily life, you home, your family or even the environment we are living in.
3. If you need to draw or paint something that you are lousy at….you can pretend that you are drawing it for your a competition, or you are using this painting that you have created as a gift to a friend’s gallery or a museum You can imagine yourself in this gallery or museum with your painting hung on the wall for visitors all over the world to appreciate. 
4. If you cannot relate the dull subject with your interest….Well, give yourselves compelling reasons to learn it. By having a compelling reason, it will force you to learn rapidly. For example, if  your doctor will to tell you that you are diagnose with a rare heart conditions that he has never heard or come across, you will try to understand it, go to the internet to research for its causes, the available treatment methods and the side effetcs, how rare it is and perhaps who are the specialists in this area. So, try create a compelling reason to generate your interest and pretend you desperately need to learn it, as tough it is life threatening to you. If your imagination is strong enough, you will find that you can approach the learning process very differently and effectively.   

Finally, by having curosity on the part of the learner can generate the interest in any subjects that we intend to learn. All of us are capable of learning new things, be it interesting or boring, but the will to learn is the key of all. To be able to make dull subjects interesting will give us willingness to learn, and to learn it rapidly and effectively.
