| Editor's Note |
|
  As October slides into November, the ghosts and goblins of Halloween that lurk around corners are replaced by the major holidays that fall at the end of the year – and the tasks and responsibilities inherent to them. Soon our schedules will be filled with office parties, family gatherings, and community and faith-based events.
But, wait! You still have CPE requirements to satisfy! Thankfully, this edition of the e-newsletter contains information regarding last-minute CPE, as well as tips on how to be a better learner and how to manage your time more efficiently. It's just about everything you need to ensure a happy new year. As for having to spend time with family, unfortunately we can't help you with that.
Sincerely,
Bill Grabarek

A guide to being a better learner
|
|
|
As a late baby-boomer in the 1970s and 1980s, I knew only two studying techniques: read and memorize. Before highlighter pens, the reading was laborious, often boring and thwarted by a wandering mind.
