No, I'm not (surprise!) I've been introduced to problems that others have, or expect to have. Most are irrelevant to me.

There were some interesting tools and terms used that may be helpful. I wish I'd read the guidance on note-taking before attending rather than as a result!

Further interesting demos  of what this Connect application is capable of. I'm impressed!

There was mention of a thing called "body doubling" as a study aid. They're using a very different meaning of that phrase from me!
