One habit leftover from college is taking notes while I read; I can’t help it (although I don’t write in my books, anymore). The habit I’ve lost entirely is listening fast enough to distill a lecture into sensical notes. A little more halfway through Introduction to Ancient Greek History (via iTunes U), I finally made time to get down notes I’ve been writing in my head as I listen. Just during the 30-minute introduction (!) I had to pause quite often to catch up or replay a few lines. Also: holy hand cramp, Batman!
