Compartmentalise
Hi,
"When I was studying for my history exam, the amount of information I had to absorb was so overwhelming that I could no longer compartmentalise it."
What I'm trying to say is that the information was starting to blur together in my head and I couldn't draw lines between the topics any more. It all became very confusing because it seemed like a patchwork of too many different pieces of information.
Would 'compartmentalise' work or is it only used in reference to emotions?
Thank you.
