Archangel Michael, 16th c.
TIP of the MORNING: Multitasking does not work! To improve your speed, to improve how well you can concentrate, to improve how much you get out of reading, attending class, and watching lectures you MUST remove distractions and focus your attention. There is no other way. Background music, messaging, cell phones, and so forth are all bad for concentration. Do one thing, fully and intensively, for a set period of time, then take a break and let your mind process. Then repeat.
