It's easier for me if I find something to help me enjoy studying whatever. I have been procrastinating studying for the State insurance test and when I study and then take mini-tests I don't do well after awhile (too long in the procrastination department, not long enough in the "study" department :-) so today I am starting something new, I am going to write a "story" about what I'm reading I enjoy writing and the challenge of writing so I'm going to create monsters or otherwise anthropomorphize these numbers and concepts so they'll "stick" better.
