@Fernanda Carvalo: Thanks Let me know how it turns out!

@Graham: I hadn’t read that fact about students in the classroom…very good to know. I wonder if a restructuring of how American classrooms work could make the whole process that much more efficient and effective?

@J.D.Meier: GREAT advice. I especially like the idea of Worry Breaks. I know when I get to thinking about something that is stressing me out, it can greatly reduce my productivity. I’m definitely going to have to try this one out.

@Leon Zerleg: I know a few other people who have raised the same concern. I think the trick might be to ease your way into it. I had trouble taking breaks at first, too. I had an even worse time trying to get myself to take naps when I needed them (I fought long and hard!). In the end, though, I’m glad I can do both when I need to, now, and all it took was some practice, and before that accepting that even if I tried it out, I wouldn’t be stuck having to nap and take breaks all the time if I didn’t like it (or if it didn’t work for me). I would say that it’s worth a shot either way!
