Information that is absorbed and not applied is just something that we know.
|
|
And knowing something is different from understanding something.
|
|
|
|
No matter how many articles, videos, and images you read, information only stays in the author's intent until you take the time to make sense of it.
|
|
It will never start unless you experiment.
|
|
One of the simplest way to start is to sit down, [[id:b318dc2b-5fa1-48ff-9d33-6fbbdee46a2f][Write down the simplest possible example]], and work your way through those examples.
|
|
|
|
This is also applied when we collect knowledge: collecting books, downloading eBooks, bookmarking articles, and archiving resources.
|
|
[[id:6b0e6b75-410f-42a3-8921-bcc4589b2d2a][Collecting information only feels like progress]].
|
|
We never used them.
|
|
It is just the same as window shopping for that wanted thing except we bought it and just an arm's length away when we want to use it.
|
|
|
|
That doesn't mean we should understand every bit of information coming our way.
|
|
In the end, [[id:864a9242-eb10-44ad-81b7-c237276523e5][We know more compared to what we understood]].
