The more out-of-place the topic, the less associations we make.
We understand this idea as if an isolated land far away from the main body of ideas, just waiting to drift towards them.
This is why interleaving can sometimes be helpful in exploring uncharted territory, expanding your viewpoints.

- we sometimes slip into this involuntarily, this ADHD-like tendency to switch our attention is good for getting new perspective even when we don't want to;
  this is as if [[id:c10ebbb7-2af6-419e-a8f3-3417c5b82de3][Randomness in systems introduces interest]]
- the more time we spent on the environment that we're comfortable with, the more chance we'll be entrenched in an idea
- for example, constantly shopping for a better tool or checking for the hip new programming language is still a good practice to get a new perspective for improving your workflow or your programming ideas
- doesn't mean lack of commitment, you still have to strive to improve your own (see [[id:d885e93b-f919-4338-a6b9-3438538e18c0][Every copy of the techniques is personalized]])
Create entries on potential traps on learning Ehh... Why I didn't think of those things but here we are. They are going to stay for a little while. Also, there's a slight shift in how I want use my wiki now. Instead of trying to craft every note into a set of evergreen notes. While Andy Matuschak's notes are very practical, it also focuses too much on crafting evergreen notes (a bit too much). Or maybe that was just my impression? Either way, I'll let some of my thoughts to drift if it able to link somewhere in the notes. I think I'm getting the point of Luhmann's original use of Zettelkasten as a research partner. 2021-05-20 13:58:54 +00:00			`:PROPERTIES:`

Add notes on skill-building and note-taking Some more notes on them, though it's becoming more broad with the perspectives this time. There is a backlog of them more, I just need to process them this morning (or evening). This will eventually diverge into more concrete skills now. 2021-07-14 23:23:35 +00:00			`#+date_modified: "2021-07-13 21:06:13 +08:00"`
