• whenever you find yourself thinking something is irrelevant ask
• "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?"
• engaging in the class can make it fell more relevant

BOREDOM

• if you tell yourself it's boring you're just becoming more bored
• the faster you are thinking the more prone you are to boredom
• you've just gotta fake it till you make it. :-)

PROCRASTINATION

• procrastination is putting off something until the last minute
• do the fun things first to boost your motivation for anything

LISTENING
