Staying focused in training : )

General

Hello Everyone!

I am currently in training for about 8 weeks at work. I noticed this time around in training that my focus is not quite like it used to be. I am not as sharp and fast. I also became sick with strep and a not so fun cold lol! That also impacts me. The cough in itself causes me more headaches and I just cant focus.

Do any of you have suggestions on who you stay focused on materials that you have to learn. What are some best practices that you have learned along the way. This mind fog and trying to comprehend the items that are being taught take me longer then most in my class and leaves me very exhaughsted because I am trying so hard lol!

I diff do not want to let the class know that I have Chiari at the moment. I just want to get through training and not have to explain that I cant see the screen anymore. My appointment is set for Colorado in Feb 2013.

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!

Fake it till you make it. Try to pick the brains of others in the training like dyslexic kids do in school cause they cannot read efficiently. Just keep trying to get the material presented verbally to you over and over again. Also, flash cards or have someone speak that material into a voice recorder and listen while walking or doing an eliptical can get the adrenaline in your body to heighten the focus and give you a clear (enough) mind to retain the materail. Good luck.
