- Procrastination is the key for math, creativity and investing!
- Combine bursts of focus with frequent breaks - a bit like chess players taking breaks in the midst of an intense game
- Huge dividends for focused intensive work
- Solitary walk is worth a week in front of the computer trying to notch up solutions - I agree:0
- Focus -> Diffuse->Focus-> only problem is Focus with smartphones/mails/watsapps et al
- Edison would hold a marble in his hand and doze off in a chair sitting until the marble bounced off the floor and got him out of his nap
- Keep your working sessions short - much like working out at the gym
On Creativity:
- ok to be disagreeable, external feedback critical to improve, attempting to be creativity bolsters creativity, redo if you falter the first few times
- Learning a new language is a mumbo jumbo of focused attention followed by a super diffused mode of plugging the words into one's conversation
- Key to assimilation - Move chunks of interpretation into long term memory not so much into working memory
