Working in groups

Most people will learn better if they work together for a number of reasons:

• You can't let the others wait for too long. Common diversions like "I'll just clean up a little bit before I start learning" or "I just want to finish the next chapter" won't work.
• If you don't understand what you've just learned you can ask the others instead of feeling like an idiot.
• If you come to an "understanding limit" your learning partner can come to your assistance immediately.

Of course working in groups can also be less productive like having a tea break. Just have tea afterwards you've study together.
