I Don't Want to Do It but I Want to Do It

Where do you want to spend your time is the most important criterion. I quickly discovered that I was not at all interested in Creating a list of words that I didn't know the meaning of, because it distracted me from reading. So how long would I keep doing something that I don't want to do and even if you're in school and the teacher's gonna force you to do something  I don't think things that you are forced to do are going to be that effective. How often should you listen to content? I find it boring to listen to the same thing over and over again or should you be constantly going out going out to new stuff?
