About this quote

Curiosity gives attention somewhere useful to go when routine work begins to feel dull.

When to use it

• Before the next class, turn a boring topic into three questions and investigate the one with the least obvious answer.
• Use the same principle on one difficult subject: turn a boring topic into three questions and investigate the one with the least obvious answer, then note what changed.
• Try it with a classmate or study group: turn a boring topic into three questions and investigate the one with the least obvious answer, and compare the result at the end of the week.
