Reviewing for these final exams on philosophical foundations of reason & logic, in addition to communication theories and mental architecture has.. left my brain feeling like an overcooked noodle. I found this inspiring quote while researching emotional and theories of emotional intelligences. Hope you find this interesting! 
“To accomplish smart learning, you will need to constantly pay utmost attention to what material you decide to study. You must avoid short term gratification at the cost of long-term learning.
It may be great fun to learn all Roman emperors and details of their interesting lives and rule. However, unless you study with a big picture in mind (e.g. in an attempt to understand why civilizations thrive or fall), your genius may benefit less than by slogging through less funny but highly applicable formulas of operation research (those can for example help you optimize your diet, investment, daily schedule, etc.).
In other words, you cannot be guided just by the fun of learning but by your goals and needs. In time, you will learn to see the link between long-term learning and long-term benefits. You will simply conditions yourself to love beneficial learning. Hard study material can still provide instant gratification.” via Formula for Human Genius and Creativity.
