Visual learner

I love reading, but as a visual learner I sometimes find it hard to focus on long sections of text. My mind drifts if the information doesn't really engage me and I find myself having to read sections over and over again! During my literature research I have been doing a lot of reading but find it essential to break it up by watching videos related to my topic of inquiry. Not only does this motivate me it also gives my mind a break from reading. Plus, I am still researching so it isn't time wasted. I've got into a good habit of doing this, especially if I have 10 or 15 minutes whilst having breakfast or lunch. I can just youtube Ted talks or research other related videos. Obviously, we have to complete a literature review but I highly recommend also researching videos related to your chosen topic as I have found it extremely interesting and very useful.
Here are some I have recently been watching related to my topic of Drama therapy.
