I hate studying

I really dislike studying and not in the high school / college student way. I don’t find traditional study any good at actually learning. People learn through playing, not forcing yourself to read text and take notes. It’s fucking boring and I can’t see how it’ll ever make the content stick. Studying may be great for passing standardized tests but rarely outside of school do you encounter a standardized test.

It’s best to play at your leisure and it’ll just come. If it’s not fun, then you’re not really going to learn. If nothing makes it fun, then maybe you should change careers / majors. Top notch programmers, scientists, etc, don’t become top notch by forcing themselves to toil over books. They become great because they love their work and get sucked in by the joy of working.
