I liked the style - so elegant and calm, the article is worth reading.

Worth reading, but, the punctuation. was very, odd.

Ironically, I found it hard to concentrate on the article.

Looks like they've scanned the text

And didn't finish, perhaps?

  To the ambitious student, I offer five practical aids to concentration

It's old. I am proud of myself that I realized this before checking the date on the article. Nobody references the Bible nowadays in polite company.

Old, but still useful

I see a bit of overlap between that article and mine. Feel free to check it out for a different perspective: http://jtame05.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/how-to-work-80-hour-...

funny that I found this by slacking off and reading hackernews

No mention of Provigil or Concerta? :P

I misread the post title and thought it was "How to Concatonate" lol.

Anyone know who the author is?

Not certain but I think it's from this: http://openlibrary.org/b/OL11936541M Ignore the 2007 date, it was published in 1930 by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co.
