The environment that is conducive for me may not be what works for you. When it comes to reading, the environment is personal.
5. Encourage The Subject
When the subject or course is boring, there is a chance that you cannot study it for long hours. But there are ways you can make the course interesting. There are ways you can actually make a boring course interesting; some of the ways are:

- Create a group chats to discuss the subject.
