How to overcome a plateau in training?

Question

IT education

Good evening.
I wanted to know how you overcome some places in training that are hard for you? For example, in one chapter of the textbook, the material is very interesting to you, you have long wanted to know THIS, and understanding and memorization goes easily and naturally. But after this chapter comes another, in which the material is not so interesting, but you understand that it is also needed for a general understanding of the subject.
How to push yourself and your brain so that it begins to assimilate this, not very interesting, material? Skip a chapter? But it may turn out that there was something important in it that would improve your programming skills. With each same was such a moment: "And that, so could be?!". And skipping pieces of material, you can never come to this moment.
On the one hand, you understand that "it IS NECESSARY!", and on the other hand, forcibly stuffing material into your head is also somehow not comme il faut. Maybe there is another way?

Answer 1

- take breaks (if I understand correctly, the brain has a certain capacity for the amount of information absorbed in a certain period of time)
- try to re-read it again
- interest is lost due to misunderstanding of the material, here you need to try to highlight what is specifically not clear, read something else on the same topic (maybe this section is covered more successfully in some other source) and if it doesn’t help, then go ask the right question on the topic
- outline the material (take notes, draw diagrams, in short, connect other ways of perceiving information other than the eyes)
- discuss the topic with others
- at the end of the chapter there are probably "tasks for learning the material", you can try to play with them.
In general, the brain is a complex thing and lazy,
They say it helps to constantly carry out intellectual efforts in areas not directly related to the daily routine. (The brain trains well when it is doing something new, unfamiliar: you can draw, solve a Japanese crossword puzzle ...)
Doping and Pharmacology, I think, will be too much here. Let's drop this.
Well, or honestly admit to yourself that you are stupid, and go to work at McDonald's.
