The keyword here is "feels like progress".
|
||
|
|
<strong>The most important thing you should know when finding yourself with this tendency is information is only stored, not consumed.</strong>
|
||
|
|
<a href="/wiki/2021-05-14-12-15-54">Information is only acquired when you try to make sense of it</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p><p>Collecting information is like going to a gym, reading all of the articles and books about working out, and simply stopping at that.
|
||
|
|
You've been hanging out in the gym for a year and yet, your body is the same as last year.
|
||
|
|
On a personal level, this is reaching into <a href="/wiki/2021-05-20-20-17-36">Professional narcissism</a> where you know all about specific things like the reason people really get fat and how to manage diet but you haven't done anything. </p><p>Nonetheless, it is still useful if we can control our resource-collecting tendencies.
|
||
|
|
One of the simplest ways to reduce this is to <a href="/wiki/2020-06-25-12-37-23">Create an inbox to store your thoughts</a>.
|
||
|
|
Or rather, an inbox of resources that you'll have to filter later.
