Learning Case

I felt this was the best time of the day as it was peace and quite with the kids asleep and felt mentally alert and refreshed this time of the day after a good nights sleep. This has been my pattern this study period and I think it has worked quite well as I am able to process more information and improve my learning capacity due to less interruptions.

My learning or information absorbing style too has changed this time, where as previously I have tried just read the text
