I have a few friends with ADD that find it extremely challenging to maintain focus for extended periods of time, making it difficult for them to read even a single chapter. So I will oftentimes highlight key passages or concepts that I want them to grasp before gifting them any book. To anyone who has a friend with ADD and some extra time to spare, this approach can be an invaluable strategy. #FocusHacks #BookLovers #ReadingTips #AttentionSpan #SupportingFriends #ADD 📖 @LynAlden #BrokenMoney https://i.nostr.build/3PGWY.jpg https://i.nostr.build/yqOoG.jpg

Sleep learning is fascinating. It seems that the information is stored in a part of the brain that is nearly inaccessible while you’re awake. https://media1.tenor.com/m/ALt36NkxjtAAAAAd/nich-bad-nft.gif

OK since you wanna be a smart ass, it is, it’s quite easily to brainwash somebody by getting them to listen to things repeatedly during their sleep. Hence why music has been one of the prime ways to do so for years. 🤣🤣🤣

I mean, we put all the subliminal messages into the music and the beats create a YouTube page drop in the subliminal messages and slowly brainwashes society I mean, it’s that easy, right 🤣🤣🤣

enviromental prep can become borderline obsessive compulsive for us as far as needing a routine and a space to sit down and focus, but creating situations that remove distractions is equally functional. I listen to audiobooks on walks or long drives on desolate roads. About the only time I can sit down and read books is at airports.

Surprisingly, omitting unfamiliar words can lead to feelings of fatigue, boredom, and even frustration! I strongly suggest investing time in resolving misunderstandings by looking up the definitions of any unfamiliar words and exploring their origins. This happens to be an excellent way to expand your vocabulary as well.

Well here I wanted the main point to be that ‘money is a ledger’ so that was for sure highlighted. Then I wanted him to see : - Commodity money - Bank money - Open-source money Are all ledgers, so I underlined them to make sure he still saw them. However, the main thing I wanted to stick out was the word LEDGER, so I put it in bold highlight. Also I’m not a reading coach and don’t know much about ADD, but I feel like when you can break it up and force the eyes to look or re adjust I’m assuming it’s probably helpful. At its core, money is a LEDGER. - Commodity money serves as LEDGER govcrned by nature. - Bank money serves as a LEDGER governed by nation states. - Open source money serves as a LEDGER governed by users.

Those with ADD, ADHD, Autism, asperger etc are childhood vaccine damaged and should minimize processed food and start max detoxification (from heavy metals) going as far as replacing dental amalgams with ceramics and avoiding all lab chemicals on their body like deodorant. They need a complete life style change. Sources: Documentaries Vaxxed 1 and 2, Fat sick and Nearly dead, Dying to have known. Food matters. I won't mention any books.

I do find that books have a different message for each person. I’ve re-read books years later and found whole sections I could have sworn weren’t in the book the first time I read it. What resonates with me is sometimes just noise to someone else. Do you highlight the sections you enjoyed or the sections you think the other person will enjoy?

My friends often tell me that they prefer my explanations over reading a book. Since I can’t be with all my friends at all times, lol, I try to highlight key parts that I would likely mention if we were having a one-on-one conversation. I focus on highlighting passages that convey key bits of information, such as specific concepts, definitions, dates, patterns, or quotations that I feel they should remember. By marking passages that are particularly meaningful or insightful, my friends can focus their attention on critical ideas and themes, making it easier to grasp the author’s message or argument, allowing us to have deeper conversations later down the line. When I was young, my mom would highlight vocabulary words in my school books to help me understand and comprehend complex, challenging, or simply new material. When she highlighted key parts, it encouraged active reading, prompting me to engage with the text actively rather than passively consuming information. I tried this technique a few years back with one friend, and she said the highlighted parts helped her so much that it became her favorite book. It made me so happy to hear that from then on, whenever I have time on a flight or by the pool, I highlight passages in books I plan on gifting to friends (for their birthday, Hanukkah, Christmas, or some occasion). In books like this (technical or bitcoin-related), I try to avoid focusing on highlighting bits that have a personal connection to me (like a special date that also coincides with my birthday or something) because there is no point in them reading a book highlighted with my emotions as they can have this side of me when we go for tea.
