TROUBLESHOOTING

>> If your mind wanders, take a break for 5 minutes to meditate in silence.
>> If mind does not settle, jot down the pestering thoughts to attend to later.
>> If mind still does not settle, take a 10 minute break to stand up and walk around.

>>Under no circumstances are you to quit studying prematurely. Breaks are allowed, but abandoning the task will not help.

Happy Studying! You can do it!
