Sitting and reading in silence was hard for me because I had constant thoughts running through my mind about everything. If I turned and looked at something it would get me off track of studying. As a result, I decided to go the apartment workout room. No one was in there and it was silent. I got on the elliptical and put my reading right in front of me and began focusing. Since my brain is going non stop all the time therefore, moving on the elliptical stopped all the mind wandering and I finally had my full attention on studying.
This was something I have never experienced before in my life. When I usually study I am around people or watching TV and somehow I can still study. It is crazy how our attention is so easily distracted. I had a bumpy 40 minutes of reading and only had about 25-30 minutes of no distractions. I am the queen of multitasking and being focused on one thing is super hard especially for a long 40 minutes.
