Jstew,

Several things to remember ...

Learning best done in 30 minute increments ... break. Then go back at it for another 30 minute increment. When your mind knows it will be rewarded with a break ... it in turn treats you well!

Activation is a conscious way of comprehending material. The more passes through the material ... the more things begin to make sense. I find especially during a second pass that things look all too familiar.

Concentrate on sections of the book as opposed to the entire book during your sessions and in no time ... you'll have it licked!
