I've got an idea to write this note after reading article that I've found on Hacker News today.

In contrast to original write-up, which was focused on learning something that we really want to learn, I would like to share my hack on how to learn something that not necessairly interests us, but we're obliged to learn (e.g. for some tests on University).

Just lie yourself that this particular topic interests you

No matter how weird this might sound, changing my attitude towards the materials that I need to learn was a game changer.

Yes, I was just faking my interest into some stuff that seemed totally boring for me and that helped me learn it a lot faster.

How to do it? Imagine that moment when you read some random article and you've just think: hey, that's interesting! - just try to mimic that feeling in your head while learning hated material.

I really regret that I've found this lifehack at a pretty late stage of my education (during Master Thesis basically) but I'm already trying to pass this knowledge to my kids 🙂.
