Memory tip (You keep what you notice): Helps attention: phone in another room, one task at a time, a clear, tidy desk, eyes on the speaker, notes while listening. Breaks attention: TV on while studying, checking messages, three tasks at once, chatting in class, scrolling while reading. Mind wandering? Note the thought down to “park” it, then go back to your work.
