Think how you work with people.  You get them to do something for you and you just ignore it?  Take it for granted?  With your parents, maybe.  But with everybody else you make a point of showing that you appreciate what they did.

Follow-through is not limited to sports.

Your brain works hard for you.  So don’t take it for granted.  Look over those notes or marks that you made.  Appreciate what your brain did.  Notice the good features.  Reinforce the working parts of your brain for the job they did.  Then your brain will store things to help it do that kind of work again.  Just notice the good things.  You can look for ways to improve your work a few days later.  You’ll be smarter then.

           Appreciate what your brain does.
  In case nobody else will.

Chop big jobs into joblets.

Follow through for you brain and you brain will follow through for you.
