    The problem with rewarding myself is that my mind becomes set on 'getting through' the material rather than actually mastering it.

    Studying may be boring sometimes but when you are matured enough to understand you are doing it for a better future, it never gets that boring.

    Not so much a tip to make studying fun, but to help you become more emotionally attached to a subject - when you're studying, if you read/work on something that piques your interest and makes you curious, write it down on a separate piece of paper. Then, once you're done studying, research stuff that's on that piece of paper. You're not studying, but you are learning a bit more about it, and tricking yourself into thinking you're just googling cool stuff. But overall it maintains interest in the topic over a long period, and it's extra stuff you can bring to the next discussion of "I found out this!"

    For example, do your homework alone. Your partner does it alone too.
