A headache is a good indicator that maybe you need a short break from what you are doing. Its easy not to feel your bodys signals when youre busy and it takes a little practise learning to spot them earlier. I can often go without noticing im hungry when I get engrossed in something.
Information retention; I have noticed that I have terrible short term memory, but really good long term memory - except for peoples names, I could know you for a year and still forget your name.
Learning a language and drawing are two things that id say information collection are not really that helpful compared to just practising them. To learn japanese, speak it, hear it. To learn to draw, draw stuff. The theoretical lessons will compliment the practise hours you have already put in, but theory without practise wont make you learn them more eificiently - until you have experience to associate it to, the theory wont mean anything on its own.
It is weird how I can't remember names. I can entire scenes from movies I watched but I can't remember "Susan."
What's worse is when it is a non standard name.
