A mind for numbers


  • 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
