Study methods?

Apr 06, 2011 21:12

I was supposed to read to the exam but what do you know? I read all kinds of other stuff but not my materials. Upsie? Well, I did read maybe the most important points but that's pretty much it =P Even though the topic is quite interesting and definitely important in working life I just couldn't bring myself to read.

I have serious problems with concentration recently.

I usually can concentrate for about 10 minutes at the time and then I need a break to do something entirely else for some while until I can resume the reading or whatever it is I am doing. (This is true for everything else but drawing, painting or writing!!! When I do those stuff I get into flow feeling and material things like hunger, cold or even time don't matter. I don't even notice them. OH GOODNESS HOW I MISS PAINTING!!! ) But yeah. Back to business.

The truth is. I CAN'T CONCENTRATE ANYMORE!!! I freaking can do one thing for six (SIX!!!) minutes until my eyes avert from the text I'm reading to something entirely else. And this, is exactly what happened today. So what did I do then? I drew nice maps and pictures of "international trade and contracts"  ("-.-)Y

Nice. This only proves that I'm still a complete kid inside who can only think by visualizing things. My friends laughed at me when I told about this =D They say they should try it too =D But in the end, I think my way of learning might be one of the most effective ones =D Because seriously, factoring in financing became a lot clearer to me when I drew a nice picture of the whole process in my brain =D

How do normal people learn things? Do people learn by just reading, or underlining? Or are there others like me who need to visualize most things before they actually learn them? It would be interesting to know ^^
