But will training of brain help us get better at studying? If yes then how?

Long-Term Motivation: Romanticizing studying can fuel long-term motivation by aligning it with your goals keeping you inspired and committed to your academic pursuits.

3: Motivation 
Studies have shown that motivated individuals tend to perform better academically compared to those who lack motivation, as they're more likely to engage actively with the material and seek out opportunities for learning and growth.

Rewarding yourself after every chapter helps you achieve your goals and helps you gain long term benefits.

4: Regular breaks 
Regular breaks can not only help your brain to rest and recharge but also prevent burnout and mental fatigue.

Research suggests that taking breaks during learning can enhance memory consolidation, allowing you to retain information more effectively.

5: Active Recall
Instead of passively reviewing information, active recall requires you to actively retrieve information from memory. This process enhances long-term retention and comprehension

Some of the methods are:
Flashcards
Summarization 
Teaching or explaining topics to others
Mind maps and diagrams
Interleaved practice
