Let’s get more details here.
It’s a good idea to have a small tablet with you, in your pocket or in your purse. So handy to jot down some key phrases or key points of info, like when you’re hearing someone speaking. Later, when you have some time read through this info and add any details, like fixing your spelling, so your notes are more helpful.
When you’re reading something and find something important or interesting maybe you can underline key words or phrases if it’s your book or your magazine.
When you’re out and about and notice something interesting or unusual if you’re alone you can speak aloud to yourself some info, some key words, etc.
You can encourage yourself. Say, “I AM doing better. I CAN do better. I’m glad that I am improving these skills.” + + +
