Burn Out & Boredom: How to Keep STEM Learning Fun

[QUOTE="George Jones, post: 6005982, member: 31570"] I think it is different for different people. For me, the first 10 minutes is the hardest. If I can force myself to be immersed in something for 10 minutes without being distracted, I find that I often can continue working for substantially longer. I find that being somewhere without access to a computer or phone helps. I am 57, and I still love reading about physics and maths. I have three "projects" on which I want to work to today, one of which is studying for fun the book "Mathematical Gauge Theory with applications to the Standard Model of Particle Physics" by Mark Hamilton (400 pages of abstract maths followed by 240 pages that "apply" this abstract math to particle physics). The other two projects are work-related, writing a small section of a paper for which my colleague has been asking, and learning material on quantum computing, so that I can stay ahead of the student that I am supervising in a self-directed learning (for the student and for me!) course. All this stuff to do, and, here I am procrastinating on Physics Forums! Proof that I cannot ignore a computer that is in front of me! [/QUOTE]
