Studying Through Brain Fog

I also use Read Aloud. I like to visually see, but I have times where for various reasons I cannot read, so I will use Read Aloud. I would suggest copying the text and put it into a different window to read though, otherwise it tries to include page headers and such.

I like https://www.ambient-mixer.com/ too. The sound of rain and thunder helps me to concentrate. I lived it areas where in rained a lot and found it much easier to focus.

You just reminded me of something! I did have COVID a few months ago, and while it was hard to focus prior to that, I was usually able to grind my way through. Maybe COVID has something to do with this, or maybe even the stress that came with it??


I need to look at that...!

I've had people mention to me that my memory has gotten worse. My memory had been formally tested prior to covid. I'm hoping to have it tested again in the next few months to see if the results show that it has actually changed.

Your post just reminded me the dancing might help. They're strong evidence that dancing wards off memory decline in the elderly.

I have been working out more (several years late, I know). It's definitely helped. Think it was extreme stress and not eating enough, lol.

Aiming to take the Art of the Western World test next month. Wish me luck!
