Focus! And don't multi-task

By ITS Education Asia

Our brains are impressive machines, but they can’t handle everything at once. There is simply too much going on in our sensory environment for us to digest. To be effective, we need to direct our attention to just one or two tasks at a time. That generally means no background music – it won’t help you learn.

Minimise your distractions and focus your attention on the task at hand.
