Reading over and over until it sinks in

Reading any course material for me is twice as hard. Why?

1. Stuff doesn't stick and I have to read over and over again. Repetition is key!

2. Often times I have trouble distinguishing what is truly important and what is just background information.

3. My mind wanders to other things, (such as writing in this blog!) and it is hard to move it!

4. Sometimes I get bored with the course material. Oh well.

So what should I do? Probably remove myself from any distractions, right?

Yeah. Good luck with that Morgan.
