But if you found some way to enjoy your studies and find joy in your work, then you will never procrastinate again.

但是，如果你能找到一些方法來享受學習，在工作中找到樂趣，那麼你就再也不會拖延了。

Hi, my name is Han.

你好，我叫 Han。

I went to Columbia University, and growing up I took hundreds of exams and studied thousands of pages of learning materials.

我曾就讀於哥倫比亞大學，在成長過程中參加過數百次考試，學習過數千頁的學習材料。

And I'm pretty confident to say that if I didn't enjoy studying, I never could have made it.

我可以非常自信地說，如果我不喜歡學習，我永遠也不可能成功。

Don't get me wrong, there are so many days that I just don't have the motivation to study, and there are subjects that I found really hard to study because I just have no interest in them.

別誤會我的意思，很多時候我就是沒有學習的動力，有些科目我覺得真的很難學習，因為我對它們毫無興趣。

But eventually, I do always find a way to enjoy studying them and get good grades.

但最終，我總能找到一種方法，讓自己喜歡上學習，並取得好成績。

So in this video, I'm going to share with you some actionable tips that not only can help you start enjoying studying, but also get better grades.

是以，在本視頻中，我將與大家分享一些可行的建議，它們不僅能幫助大家開始享受學習，還能幫助大家取得更好的成績。

So let's get straight into it.

那我們就直奔主題吧。

So sometimes when we don't feel like studying a particular material, then our mind automatically starts daydreaming and very disengaged in the context, because that's our natural reaction to feel better and get less bored.

是以，有時當我們不想學習某個材料時，我們的大腦就會自動開始做白日夢，非常脫離背景，因為這是我們的自然反應，讓我們感覺更好，不那麼無聊。

But actually, you should do the opposite.

但實際上，你應該反其道而行之。

The more you engage in your studying, the more you will enjoy it.

你越投入學習，就會越享受學習。

Let me explain this.

讓我來解釋一下。

The slowest time I've experienced are in classes where I'm actually not listening to the lectures.

我經歷過的最慢的時間是在課堂上，我實際上沒有在聽講。

My mind isn't focused on whatever the teacher is talking about, just waiting for the class to end.

無論老師在講什麼，我的注意力都不集中，只等著下課。

Similarly, the worst study sections that I have are usually the ones that I don't know what to study.

同樣，我學習最差的章節通常是我不知道該學什麼的章節。

I sit down, kind of think about what to do, maybe start reading my textbook.

我坐下來，想了想該怎麼做，也許開始讀課本。

But after a couple of minutes, I got distracted by a text message.

但幾分鐘後，我被一條簡訊分了神。

So I get on my phone for like 10 more minutes.

於是我又玩了十分鐘手機。

And I was like, oh, shoot, now I have to study.

我當時想，哦，糟糕，現在我得學習了。

Then thinking, oh, this is too hard to read.

然後又想，哦，這太難讀了。

Maybe I should do my homework.

也許我應該做做功課。

Eventually, after almost an hour and feeling like I have done nothing, even though I just studied.

最終，在將近一個小時後，我感覺自己什麼也沒做，儘管我剛剛學習過。

So those are the times that I end up feeling like, oh, I'm so not productive.

是以，這些時候我就會覺得，哦，我的工作效率太低了。

This is so boring.

這太無聊了。

And I hate studying.

我討厭學習。

And on the other hand, the best studying sessions that I've ever had are usually the ones that I sit down knowing exactly what I'm going to do, immediately getting to the deep focus mode, and then just very engaged in the studying session and actually get the job done.

另一方面，我所經歷過的最棒的學習課程通常是我坐下來就知道自己要做什麼，立即進入深度專注模式，然後非常投入地學習，並真正完成任務。

Even though sometimes I may not study as long, but I usually end up feeling like very productive and accomplished.

儘管有時我學習的時間可能沒有那麼長，但我通常會覺得自己很有成效和成就感。

These are usually the sessions that energize me afterwards.

這些課程通常會讓我在課後精力充沛。

The more randomness in your studying session, the more lost you will feel.

學習過程中的隨意性越大，你就會感到越迷茫。

Also, you were more likely to be distracted because you just don't have a clear vision what you're supposed to do.

此外，你更容易分心，因為你不清楚自己應該做什麼。

So plan out exactly how long or what task you're going to do before you actually start your studying session.

是以，在你真正開始學習之前，先計劃好你要做多長時間或做什麼任務。

If every single studying session that you feel very accomplished and energized, long term, you will actually really enjoy studying.

如果每一次學習都能讓你感到很有成就感，精力充沛，長期堅持下去，你就會真正喜歡上學習。

On the other hand, if you always have like the worst feeling, then you will end up like not wanting to study.

另一方面，如果你總是有最糟糕的感覺，那麼你最終就會不想學習。

Create a study environment that you love and associate studying with the things that you like.

營造自己喜歡的學習環境，把學習與自己喜歡的事情聯繫起來。

So whenever you're about to study, romanticize it a little bit, listen to music that you really like and get yourself a fun drink that you really enjoy and keep your environment very clean and just aesthetically pleasing.

是以，每當你準備學習時，就把它浪漫化一點，聽聽你非常喜歡的音樂，給自己買一杯你非常喜歡的有趣的飲料，保持你的環境非常乾淨和美觀。

For me, I love to go to this one coffee shop and get one of my favorite, their signature latte.

對我來說，我最喜歡去這家咖啡店喝我最喜歡的招牌拿鐵咖啡。

And I have this favorite spot, which is like sit in front of a window.

我最喜歡坐在窗前。

And my view is like a small area of grass.

而我的視野就像一小片草地。

And whenever I look up, I can see people walking and sometimes people walking their dogs.

每當我抬起頭，就能看到人們在散步，有時還有人遛狗。

It just makes me feel so happy and content.

這讓我感到無比幸福和滿足。

Like I feel like the life is good.

就像我覺得生活很美好。

My mind is clear.

我的頭腦很清醒。

I can study for like 10 more hours.

我可以再學 10 個小時

So next time when you looking forward to get that latte, you're also kind of looking forward to study.

所以，下一次當你期待著拿鐵咖啡的時候，你也在期待著學習。

If you have studying in the same spot for too long or like for so many days in a row, you can always change your location because first of all, you change location.

如果你在同一個地方學習的時間太長，或者連續學習了很多天，你可以隨時更換學習地點，因為首先，你要更換學習地點。

You have to take a small walk and a walk is always better for your productivity.

你必須散散步，散步總是更有利於提高工作效率。

And also different environment that kind of just bring a different energy to yourself.

不同的環境也會給自己帶來不同的能量。

So you have a more fresh mind, which always just helped me so much.

這樣你就有了更新鮮的思維，這對我幫助很大。

So I always love to go to different libraries, different study spots on campus and different coffee shops now.

是以，我現在總是喜歡去不同的圖書館、校園裡不同的學習地點和不同的咖啡館。

The secret to make studying more engaging and fun is drum rolls, flashcards.

讓學習更有吸引力、更有趣的祕訣就是鼓點、閃存卡。

I talked about this multiple times on my channel, active learning and active recall.

我在我的 "主動學習和主動回憶 "頻道上多次談到這一點。

More specifically, it's one of the most effective way of learning.

更確切地說，這是最有效的學習方式之一。

Active recall just means that you actually need to make an effort to think about it and retrieve information from your mind.

主動回憶的意思是，你實際上需要努力思考，從腦海中檢索資訊。

Examples are like flashcards and quizzes and practice questions.

例如卡片、測驗和練習題。

It also really makes study more fun and engaging.

這也確實讓學習變得更有趣、更有吸引力。

I love flashcards.

我喜歡閃卡。

It just helped me memorize faster and better in the long term.

從長遠來看，這有助於我更快更好地記憶。

My only complaint is that sometimes it takes me way too long to make the flashcards and it's very hard for me to find flashcards online that related to my study content.

我唯一的抱怨是，有時我製作閃存卡的時間太長，而且很難在網上找到與我的學習內容相關的閃存卡。

So I was very excited to found this study app and I'm so excited to share with you because I just think it will be so helpful.

是以，我非常興奮地發現了這款學習應用程序，我很想與大家分享，因為我覺得它將會對我大有裨益。

You can just upload your lecture slides for your notes and then boom, it just generated a bunch of flashcards and questions for you.

你只需上傳講座幻燈片作為筆記，然後 "砰 "的一聲，它就會為你生成一堆卡片和問題。

I can't imagine how much time this will save me if I have discovered this in college.

我無法想象，如果我在大學時就發現了這一點，這將為我節省多少時間。

In answering every 10 questions, you will see your tree grow, which is just so cute.

This is pretty straightforward.

這很簡單明瞭。

Studying with friends is just more fun.

和朋友一起學習更有趣。

It's also very motivating to see your friend sitting next to you is also working hard.

看到坐在你旁邊的朋友也在努力工作，這也是一種極大的激勵。

If you guys ever start a discussion on whatever you're learning, that's always the best way to learn something, which is teaching each other and discuss with each other.

如果你們能就所學內容展開討論，這永遠是最好的學習方法，即互相學習、互相討論。

So next time if you're like lying on the bed and you don't feel like studying, just text your friend and see if they're down to meet at a library or like a coffee shop.

所以，下次如果你躺在床上不想學習，就發短信給你的朋友，看看他們是否願意在圖書館或咖啡館見面。

So you guys can study together because all you need is that like initial motivation to get you off the bed and like go outside and study.

所以你們可以一起學習，因為你們需要的只是最初的動力，讓你們離開床，到外面去學習。

So meeting with a friend is a great way to do that.

是以，與朋友見面是一個很好的方式。

So when we are not motivated to study, sometimes it's because we're focused on the wrong thing.

是以，當我們沒有學習動力時，有時是因為我們專注於錯誤的事情。

Because lots of time we probably only focus on, oh, I'm studying because I need to pass my next exam.

因為很多時候，我們可能只關注 "哦，我學習是因為我需要通過下一次考試"。

But instead of thinking about your studying for the education system, think about studying as something that you're doing for yourself.

但是，與其把學習看作是為了教育系統，不如把學習看作是為了自己。

You're studying because you're devoted and invested in your future.

你之所以學習，是因為你對自己的未來充滿熱情和投入。

Suddenly it just feels lighter and less draining.

突然間，感覺輕鬆了許多，也不那麼累了。

I know this is kind of like a cliche thing to say, everybody knows, oh, I'm studying for myself and not for other people.

我知道這有點像老生常談，每個人都知道，哦，我是為了自己而學習，而不是為了其他人。

Like if I study better, I'll have a better future.

就像如果我學習好一點，我就會有一個更好的未來。

Sometimes we always forget about that.

有時我們總是忘記這一點。

And actually it's very powerful to have this mindset shift.

實際上，這種思維方式的轉變是非常強大的。

There's this paper shows that if someone found very bored in a classroom setting, there are three options for them to choose from.

有一篇論文顯示，如果一個人在課堂上感到非常無聊，他有三種選擇。

The first one is just rethink about your situation and remind yourself the importance of the subject.

首先是重新思考自己的處境，提醒自己這個主題的重要性。

And the second one is ask the teacher to give them more interesting tasks.

其次是要求老師給他們佈置更有趣的任務。

The third one is just switch tasks and do something else that make you feel less bored.

第三種方法就是轉換任務，做一些讓你感覺不那麼無聊的事情。

And surprisingly, the results shows that the students that just rethink about their situation actually found more joy in their studying than the other two group of students.

而令人驚訝的是，結果表明，與其他兩組學生相比，剛剛對自己的處境進行反思的學生實際上在學習中找到了更多的快樂。

And if you foresee yourself getting bored at something, then you actually feel more bored.

如果你預見到自己會對某件事情感到厭煩，那麼你實際上會覺得更厭煩。

On the other hand, if you foresee yourself having more fun at an event or at a class, you will actually end up having more fun.

另一方面，如果你預見到自己在活動中或課堂上會更有趣，那麼你最終就會真的玩得更開心。

So please stop telling yourself, oh, I don't want to study.

所以，請不要再告訴自己，哦，我不想學習了。

I hate studying when you're not being motivated.

我討厭學習沒有動力的時候。

Just when you have those thoughts, just take a moment, take a deep breath and remind yourself, I don't actually feel this way.

當你有這些想法時，請花一點時間，深呼吸，提醒自己：我其實沒有這種感覺。

I actually do enjoy studying.

事實上，我很喜歡學習。

Get a role model.

找一個榜樣

Whenever you see someone you admire that they're working so hard and they're achieving their goals, it makes studying feel less like a chore, more like I'm stepping toward my own success, just like my role model.

每當你看到你敬佩的人如此努力地工作並實現自己的目標時，學習就不再是一件苦差事，而更像是我在向自己的成功邁進，就像我的榜樣一樣。

You're studying because you want to become someone that you're proud of, someone that you always want to be.

你學習是因為你想成為一個讓你驕傲的人，一個你一直想成為的人。

I love to watch Legally Blonde when I need a motivation boost.

當我需要激勵時，我喜歡看《律政俏佳人》。

And one of my favorite movies is Flying Colors, which is about a girl who goes from filling all her classes to get into her dream top university.

我最喜歡的電影之一是《色彩飛揚》，講的是一個女孩從填滿所有課程到考上夢想中的名牌大學的故事。

Highly recommend it.

強烈推薦。

Role models can be incredibly motivating because just think about they once stood in your positions, facing the same challenges.

榜樣的力量是無窮的，因為想想他們曾經站在你的位置上，面對同樣的挑戰。

It's like if they can do it, so can you.

就好像他們能做到，你也能做到。

There's actually a huge problem for women in STEM due to the lack of role models.

由於缺乏榜樣，STEM 領域的女性實際上面臨著巨大的問題。

How can you expect someone to work really hard at something if they've never seen someone else done it before?

如果一個人從未見過別人做某件事情，你怎麼能指望他真的努力去做呢？

A little bit off topic, this is one of the reasons I started this channel because I loved watching StudyTube's videos back in the day and they just gave me so much motivations and inspirations while I'm nowhere near close to become a role model.

說點題外話，這也是我開設這個頻道的原因之一，因為我當年很喜歡看 StudyTube 的視頻，他們給了我很多動力和靈感，而我還遠遠沒有成為榜樣。

But it is my goal to inspire some of you, especially for the girls who are interested in math and engineering.

但我的目標是激勵你們中的一些人，尤其是對數學和工程感興趣的女孩。

Taking breaks is important, but please don't spend your study breaks on your phone.

休息很重要，但請不要把學習時間花在手機上。

It won't help you rest.

它不會幫助你休息。

The apps on your phone are designed to have so much fun.

您手機上的應用程序就是為了給您帶來無窮樂趣而設計的。

Companies spend billions of dollars to make sure that they are super fun.

公司花費數十億美元來確保它們超級有趣。

So when you switch from your phone to studying, it's going to be really, really hard to enjoy studying because it does require more time and effort to feel the enjoyment of focus and mental activity.

是以，當你從手機切換到學習時，就真的很難享受到學習的樂趣了，因為這確實需要更多的時間和精力才能感受到專注和腦力活動的樂趣。

So what I usually do is I use this app called Opal so I can block all the fun apps from 9am to 9pm.

是以，我通常會使用一款名為 Opal 的應用程序，這樣我就可以從早上 9 點到晚上 9 點屏蔽所有有趣的應用程序。

So this way I can still use my phone and enjoy it a little bit after 9pm once I've finished most of my important studying tasks, which is not always the case, but I try.

這樣，晚上 9 點以後，當我完成了大部分重要的學習任務後，我還可以使用手機，享受一下手機帶來的樂趣。
