"If you don't understand a method presented in a course you are taking, stop and work backward. Go to the Internet and discover who first figured out the method or some of the earliest people to use it.

This book just made me realize, that although it is important to not procrastinate, we must also take breaks by doing rewarding activities. And those rewarding activities can be as simple as taking a nap, writing or journaling, dancing, taking a bath, rewards, playing sports, etc. It's really beautiful how studying needs activities and breaks. It's why time management and balance is so important :)
