oh i just had SUCH a realization about the way i process information
so, some context: when i watch any sort of content (shows, videos, movies, etc), i talk about them. there are quite few people who will watch things with me, because i am the Annoying Person Who Commentates And Asks Questions. it helps me pay attention, it's automatic, and i genuinely cannot focus/process the show nearly as well if i'm not doing it
second context: i recently realized that i am much more productive on and understand schoolwork MUCH better if i'm... basically, complaining about it. i'll talk as i'm doing it, mostly about the information, or things relating to it
the realization i've just come to: i process information, at a baseline, by repeating it back and actively interacting with it, not just consuming it. this may seem obvious or like an easy realization, but this did not occur to me until just now
i wonder if i can use this to my advantage, keeping it in mind with school and media i consume
