40. September Q&A: How to Study from a Textbook, and Increasing Study Motivation

Learn and Work Smarter

In this Q&A episode, I answer two questions submitted by Learn and Work Smarter listeners. Remember: Other people often ask questions we didn’t even know we had, so this episode is for you.

Question 1: Submitted by a student who asks about the best approach to completing assigned textbook readings (in a way that they actually learn the material as they’re reading it).

Question 2: Submitted by a listener taking a professional course, struggling with motivation and looking for ways to make the experience more enjoyable.
