It doesn't if you're really interested in the material and the book is well written.
Unless you're fascinated by the subject material, it usually takes time to build up stamina to study. It's a matter of acquiring a type of self discipline.
You can't expect someone who isn't used to spending more than fifteen minutes per day studying to suddenly study for five hours each day. It's just not realistic.
I had poor study habits in high school. Consequently when I was a freshman in college, studying for half an hour per day was an ordeal for me. But by the time I was in grad school, I had gradually built up to studying five or so hours each day, and it was fine. More than tolerating studying, I gained satisfaction from studying.
And those study skills served me well in my chosen career. I was continually learning new stuff. And then when I retired and started serious (but still recreational) poker, those study skills still served me well. Or maybe just call it self discipline.
The way you can get it is by extending yourself just an extra minute or two each week. As you get accustomed to studying, you can gradually do it for longer and longer periods of time.
Quit before it's overwhelming. And highlight with a yellow highlighter. You have to read a paragraph to get it into your consciousness what the paragraph says. Then go back and highlight the key phrase (or two) in the paragraph. Be careful not to highlight too much... just what is necessary. If what is really necessary is not clear to you, read the paragraph over again to decide.
Another trick is to write down in a notebook that which you don't understand. Then copy into a second notebook that which you copied into the first notebook but didn't understand. Then use a third notebook. It's learning more or less by "rote," but it works well for some very intelligent individuals, people you wouldn't think would need to learn by rote. It's a matter of forcing yourself to concentrate on the subject matter.
Enough of the study skill stuff.

I'll make the notes in my bloody mind
Thanks Buzz, I like your effort, seriously!
Maybe already studied a bit too much in my life. Now I'm after the shortcut to a win
