                    1. Take a piece of paper and doodle to create a visual or verbal metaphor
                        for a concept you are trying to understand now in math or science.



                    2. Look at a chapter in a book you are reading in math or science. Create a
                        question about that material that would make you want to learn more
                        about it.




                    3. Just before you to go sleep, review something mentally that you are
                        trying to learn. To boost this process, review it yet again when you
                        first wake up.
