  What I have trouble with is the work that involves real engagement - you have to pay close attention - that is also boring. Grading student assignments, especially when they are poorly written. But even good ones, because you've read the same basic content so many times. The effort of willpower required is painful.

•

  I think sometimes podcasts can be valuable. Generally speaking you are correct about them, especially in this era of producing volumes of content for the purpose of hosting advertisements and making money. However, listening to a discussion between two very knowledgeable people who really know how to speak on a topic - I've found myself re-listening and taking notes from a wealth of information. 100% agree about current books that could well have been a chapter - some authors have one idea that they stretch almost to breaking point.

  A simple zettelkasten works for me. I've tried different apps before but most of them are overkill and just include way more than you need. You just need some plain text files and linking between them, that's all (currently using Zettlr if anyone wants to know).

  @JayM92826 күн бұрын

  This is a great reality check. I have to say though, that the “project based” mindset can lead to productivity without creativity. For example, a KZreadr that churns out videos, but doesn’t have much insight to offer (not you! Just e.g.). So, you have to decide what your goal is and strike the best balance that serves that goal.

  Some supplementary ideas: - An active output doesn't have to be an essay or article. For example, if you're reading to learn how to tackle a problem, an action plan is a high value output. If you're reading to expand your knowledge of a particular topic, a discussion with a similarly inclined friend or acquaintance (either after reading the same book or two books on the same topic) is a very good "output"; to talk intelligently and fruitfully about what you've read you need to understand the ideas and think your own thoughts about them beforehand, and then engage with your friend's ideas during the conversation. The added social interaction element is a bonus. - Writing your own thoughts about the ideas you're reading/hearing is very useful and encourages active rather than passive reading/listening. For example, while reading a book like Atomic Habits, you can write down how you'd adopt a particular strategy or tactic for yourself in the notes. - While valuable ideas in chatty videos can be too spread out, concise videos, like this one, can be good learning material. Watching them at the maximum speed at which the speaker is intelligible to you can compel you to focus harder. - Procrastinators should beware of selectivity becoming an excuse!

  I find your videos super valuable, and your delivery is excellent (super clear). I see myself revisiting many of your videos, and for the revisiting use case, having your videos segmented into labelled sections (when possible, of course) would increase the high value you already offer even more.

You mentioned writing Essays. I would love to hear more about this.

  My takeaways from this video's based on what I understood. 1. Synthesis of Information >> Hording of Information 2. Synthesis of Information means deeper understanding of the material which in turn becomes a vortex from which ideas flow out of. 3. The Process of Synthesis i. Pick a biome to explore (Selecting genres of information relevant to you that ignites your natural curiosity) ii. Pick a relative higher difficulty (Selecting a relatively dense mode of information transfer [Books > Information videos > Shorts] ) iii. Capture the beast not the hare (capture that which shouldn't be ignored) This takes times to develop; revisiting the material will help find the imposter beast. iv. Tame the beast. (Reformulate; the information and make it your own) v. Generate output using the captured info. Output of the process: Deeper understanding of a particular field of your interest leading to better ideas and expertise.

  @DavidROliverАй бұрын

  Great insight and clearly the sum of a lot of research. The only point I have to make is that humans do not think in the same way. There are many different types, and the lines between them are not concrete, which explains why we are not purely logical creatures. As an example, I would like to introduce Temple Grandin, who is a strong advocate for the 'Visual Thinker.' Here is one of her lectures on the subject for your reference. It is worth the 40 minutes of your time because of the effect on industry and society the lack of one thinking style can cause: [Temple Grandin Lecture](kzread.info/dash/bejne/mXl2w9WQf9PRfqw.html). How is this relevant to PKM? Firstly, I've always dropped the 'P' because not that many ideas ever get off the ground without some sort of collaboration, so we always have to be in a position to share what we have learned. It doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough. I know this causes more friction, but when creating output, it's good to also always think: will someone else understand what I'm creating? This is a way of countering the 'Curse of Knowledge' cognitive bias. To the second point, notice I say 'Output' rather than 'Notes'. Some people prefer to create diagrams or record short videos, as examples, rather than write notes. Technology is only making these alternative ways of sharing knowledge easier. Yes, it's more noisy, granted, but I believe that all these innovations could lead us to Collective Intelligence if we guide it. This would have untold benefits for everyone and everything that resides on our delicate planet, so a worthwhile goal to set ourselves. Happy to discuss this further if you wish.

  Well said. Appreciate you adding to the conversion. I'll definitely check out the Grandin lecture - have added it to my watch later list.

  @MaxwellBubaАй бұрын

  Very well thought out video. Sharing ideas from your personal knowledge management (PKM) system, even if they're not perfect or polished, can be highly beneficial. When you share your thoughts with others, you get valuable feedback that can refine your concepts. Additionally, this practice can act as a door opener, leading you to the "output ladder," where your ideas are further developed and brought to fruition. Through this process, you might meet individuals with a similar mindset or those who offer a different perspective, enhancing your overall viewpoint and approach.
