1. How would you recognize when you are in the diffuse mode? How does it feel to be in the diffuse mode?
Diffuse mode seems to happen when I'm thinking about other things RELATED TO what it is that I'm reading. My mind is making the connections to information already known. Wait.....no....that seems to be FOCUSED-MODE. I think DIFFUSED MODE happens when I'm making notes on a particular passage that I've read and seems interesting enough to jot down. It feels playful, not as serious, feels like I'm getting a better grasp on the information.
