thesis metaphor strategies

shared by Lisa Durff on 22 Mar 14 - No Cached

The Secret World of Sleep: The Surprising Science of the Mind at Rest:
...

Cancel
Sum up Here's how to focus: Focus is a muscle: The more time you spend focusing, the better at it you will get. Don't give up. Clear your head: Got concerns? Write them down. Make a plan for how to conquer them. Then get to work. Location, location, location: Go where you know you'll get stuff done where there are no distractions. Stop being reactive: Turn phone notifications off. No interruptions. It all starts and ends with you. Get your sleep: Or you'll be dumb and impulsive. More sleep means better performance across the board.
