Passive Learning

Problems:
1. I've repeated a lot of information over and over again, without understanding it.
2. I've become tired and bored easily.
Suggestion how to solve that:
1. I have to see the information in a different way, and if I still can't understand it, I would ask somebody to explain it to me. Also I need to concentrate more on what I am reading or doing.I get distracted too often.
2. In order to avoid this,I have to find a system, of studying and revising, that will keep me interested for longer. For example, involving music, quizes or interesting excersises would keep me concentrated. Studying with somebody else and competing is another way too.
