    What I do is I read over something, take a nap, and then read it over again. If I don’t get it after that I’ll ask someone for help.

      Taking a break helps a lot. I like to multitask for this reason and to not feel like wasting time. Also, important to remember to eat. There’s an obvious drop in my clarity of mind right before lunch.
