RELEVANCY

• To keep things relevant and an easier way for you to retain information would be: you putting your distracting thoughts in a parking lot and using your imagination to see how the info you’re learning, will apply to the real world.
• Using your whole body to process information will help you understand why the info your learning will help you in the real world.

BOREDOM

• Find a way to engage yourself more in the activity that you’re doing that you think is boring.
• 90% of our success/happiness comes from our thinking/inside world while 10% comes from the outside world. Once you realize that, doing things that are productive but may seem boring are needed to do. So JUST DO IT.

PROCRASTINATION

• Put your distracting thoughts in the Parking Lot and tell yourself, NOT NOW.
• Taking action in doing something that you don’t wanna do will give you more motivation. So get your thing DONE.

LISTENING

• Processing ideas and thoughts will help you understand your information better and will overall help your listening.
• Calming and Quieting your mind will help you listen and focus on the task at hand. Listening has also been found to be beneficial towards focusing.
