To be clear, calm and focused: 1) Sleep well and enough (for you). 2) If you didn’t sleep well, don’t externalize your thoughts any more than absolutely necessary until after you do.

Husband just watched the old dog spit out the senior Yumove tablets at breakfast, and the young dog hoovered them up. How long has this been going on? And does it explain why young dog is sooo bouncy? 🧐

Research shows that ~90 min is the longest period we can expect to maintain intense focus and effort toward learning. Shorter bouts are fine but after ~90 min, take a break. Space intense learning bouts ~2-3 (or more) hours apart.
