  1. A few things chimed with me in this video 1) as a student I often took breaks from problems I was working on Quantum Mechanical analysis of chemical reactions and often needed to take breaks and just accept that that was how it was. Two side notes on this: a) I always had a regular sleeping schedule even when I had a work crisis b) I kept and still keep paper and pen by my bed as I have "solved" some problems and woken up and written them down. 2) in my masters course - I ended up doing a lot of finding mistakes in papers I unofficially called my master's thesis - finding and recovering from typos 3) As the equivalent of a US high school teacher in Britain I introduced a lot of students to calculus and it was and is fascinating to what what the triggers for the ideas to click I developed an armoury of approaches to everything from early calculus to long multiplication so there was no single method to do something.
