I have a problem. Since I was a kid I been suffering from hyperactivity, I always need to be doing 2 or more things at the same time. When I am on the phone I write. When I am driving I talk to myself. When I am watching tv I am biting my nails. When I am in the office I am moving my leg or my foot up and down, when I am writting in the computer I am biting my lip, etc

Now I can live with that, I always have, but the problem is in my head. In my head I have 2 voices (as most people problably do) but sometimes I even have 3! (that's when I get really nervous) and is so difficult to shut them up. In one way is has an advantage because most of the time I am thinking about 2 different things at the same time and in my work this has helped me a lot to be multi-tasking.

But when I am trying to photoread, I start to quiet down my voices, but then as soon as I start fliping the pages one voice is saying the chant (1,2, relax, etc) and the "other" voice is telling me: "are you sure this really this works" "man I am sleepy" "can you stop reading" "can we do something else" all sorts of stupid stuff!

You must think I am crazy, but what can I do to shut up my other voice?

Please help.

Maybe you need to find multiple chants, one for each voice. Have one voice doing the chant, another restateing your purpose in a chant, or something else, i dunno. I have been procrastining doing the course, but i am ending that habit now, as soon as i get caught up in my college work, probably this weekend, i'll get right started Wish me luck, and good luck to you!
