@daveothomas: The key to this whole goal is curiosity. Curiosity is the biggest driver of your passions. If you care enough to get out of bed and find out more you’re already halfway there. Once you start seeing content and information as useful / interesting to you, then you will find trash as being trash, it becomes less inspiring and you actively have more energy to pursue what you want to do. My biggest revelation was absolutely the thought of ‘don’t think just do’, stopping the procrastination between every task and just doing stuff, it doesn’t matter exactly what all the time but an hour spent rotting is an hour you won’t get back. Do something you’d actually like to do, anything! There’s lots more videos I would like to make about this topic and this is really just introducing the theme but I’ll try and break down some strategies I use to benefit from what I’m taking in:) it’s something that I absolutely geek out on I love when learning becomes fun #learning #studying #reading #productivity #BookTok
This is called conceptual blending If I’m not mistaken. It’s a a common method used in grad school

Never thought about it… maybe also start writing some key words to then link them with the ones of other books?

Everything you just said reminded me of “synapses”. It’s where tiny connections between neurons send messages to each other and these connections can strengthen or change as you learn😊

Lovely tips! I’ve also started keeping a journal where I note down anything and everything interesting and the goal is that it doesn’t have to be polished or refined, just quick jotting in and it’s helped me so much in bringing my thoughts together

It's basically like doing clinical research, you take relevant studies, extract important information and compare them collectively so you can make a conclusion based off of them on that topic! 😁
