“A college professor is someone who talks in someone else’s sleep.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The typical adult human can only pay attention for about ten minutes\u2026 Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n

For those who went to college or university, recall your freshmen or first-year lectures. Large rooms filled with dozens or hundreds of students, often a bit too warm, with the lecturer at the podium beneath a huge screen.<\/p>\n

As the class begins you are awake and ready to take notes. The professor presents the topic supported by the occasional slide or graphic. You are following along just fine.<\/p>\n

But after a few minutes your mind wanders. Someone comes in late and you all turn to stare while the speaker continues, ignoring the distraction. You miss a section of the talk and glance at a neighbor\u2019s notes to see what they captured. Gratefully, nothing important was lost and you turn your attention back to the podium.<\/p>\n

After only ten minutes into the class you realize you\u2019ve checked out. Not intentionally, it\u2019s just that you are struggling to pay attention. And unless the lecturer does something to reengage you, you\u2019ll miss even more of the topic.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes was all it took.<\/p>\n

You need to be refreshed!<\/p>\n

(And that\u2019s next\u2026)<\/p>\n
