He just told himself silly stuff that justified not paying attention; This is too boring, What else is going on or This teacher is always making everything too complicated, I can’t understand this.
These few examples of Stinky Thinking and all the others that you can imagine are the cause of almost all of the “not paying attention” that you experience.
Like most of the things we tell ourselves, it happens so fast that you usually don’t even know it is going on. All you know is that you have missed about half of what the teacher was just explaining.
Make yourself practice paying attention. Force yourself not to daydream or become distracted. In Cosmos’ world, if you mishear something, we may never hear from you again.
