I particularly love finding out that I’m already doing something unconsciously to help myself focus, and realising how and why it helps, so I can then do it more intentionally and better - these are the life changes I adore making. Here are my top recent tips on how to focus better, learn better (and faster) and ultimately enjoy life and studying more. Comments and suggestions always welcome!
