Studying Law via Audio Books and Lectures

My faithful study partner, a long-running Nokia Bluetooth headphone

I know,  I know I am getting ahead of myself.  My bar review days is still far but I couldn't help but be excited and look forward to it.  If there is anything that law students don't have is TIME.   Hence,  as early as now,  I am already finding ways to make use of my time efficiently and effectively, like listening to audio law books and lectures.

These past days I have been addicted to listening to all kinds of audio lectures and law codal which you may also easily find online.   I am listening to these lectures almost 24/7.   I have this long-running Nokia bluetooth headphones that I got 4 years ago but still works on 8-10 battery on a single charge.  Listening to audio books with this gadget makes everything so easy.

Whenever I am doing my daily mundane activities like eating, cleaning, doing other household chores, sometimes when bathing (I put on a shower cap to protect my headphones), and yes even when sleeping so I don't have any downtime.

Torture that muscle called 'brain'

They say that the brain is a muscle and the more you use it, the more efficient that muscle becomes.  I am trying to make my brain process two tasks at the same time. That makes for a crazy multi-tasking exercise for my brain. I am thinking of how to finish this blog while my ear and some part of my brain is processing some other knowledge.  This makes it more exciting and challenging.

I know the key in being good in one thing is to FOCUS and keep going,  but what if you can focus on multiple things at one point in time?  What if your brain can actually do this thus increasing your productivity 2x or more. That is what I am trying to do, trying to discover the potential of my grey matter and let's see how it turns out.

I really cannot vouch for the effectivity of this learning style and I am still figuring out for myself.  One thing is for sure,  it allows me to use time in a more efficient manner since time otherwise spent on mundane daily tasks can now be fully utilized.   When I first listen to the audio codals,   it was hard to give my full attention to it.  However,   having these significant law concepts playing over and over inside my head keeps my brain busy and useful on most times of the day.  It is fun to let your brain do some minimal work while you sleep.

So of course while I was writing this post,  I was also listening to another audio specifically on effectively increasing my time-management and productivity skill by my favorite speaker Mr. B Tracy.  Let's see how the post turns out but more importantly, I look forward to measuring how this listening impacts my review.
