Expect it to be fun.
This small change in your mindset can make a big difference. Expecting it will be fun makes it much easier for you to find the fun side of practically anything..
Be constantly curious
Whenever you deal with a topic, create questions in your mind. Find answers and then raise new questions. Questions keep your mind engaged. They can change your learning process from something dull to a treasure hunt.
Create a challenge
By creating a challenge, you will want to prove to yourself (and perhaps to others) that you can make it. One good way to do that is by creating a project. Build something real out of what you learn. Another way is to create a contest with your friends to find out who can do something faster or better.
Connect to what you already know
Things will be more exciting if you can connect what you’re learning to what you already know. Why? Because that improves your understanding of the world and allows you to see new possibilities you’ve never realized before.
Diversify
Avoid boredom and find new possibilities by exploring new topics. Read books in new genres. Meet people with different professions. Add variety to your life.
