Schedule breaks and practice  

Whether they re learning from self-study books or in the classroom, people need frequent 

breaks to rest and process what they ve learned. Also, few students can learn anything new 

after about 3:30 in the afternoon, so long days can be counterproductive.  

Students need breaks 

 Sometimes I d get frustrated trying to do something, but the more I struggled with 

it, the harder it got. Then I d take a break and when I came back I was able to work it 

out  Learning to build Web sites was fun, but midway through the afternoon my 

brain was fried!
