Reframe Not Understanding Something the First Time

Everyone else nodded and moved on; you are still on page one wondering if you belong here. This explains what repeated exposure actually does that one read-through cannot, separates not-yet from not-capable, and suggests one change to how you are working with the material. Facts, not a pep talk.
