Nice post!
Indeed, that course of Barbara Oakley is really good for all meta-learning concepts.

For more depth on the concepts of 'Focused' and 'Diffused' modes, I recommend the book by Daniel Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow.

Also, as a general suggestion for the following articles, take it easy on the gifs. They can be distracting to an otherwise very interesting post.

Thank you for the feedback. In fact, I was wondering about gifs. I am going to try with fewer gifs next time.

Your post is very insightful. Made me recall my personal eureka moments and how they came about. I'd so much love to practice this more often.
Also, I'd prefer more emojis to gifs. Emojis tend to be more subtle in emphasizing content 😊.

Thank you.

I know a few commenters felt a little iffy about the use of gifs, but may I say:

  • Your use of emojis was on point.

Sharing these ideas and associating them to clear & efficient visual cues requires an eye for minimalist communication and effective memory association. And you definitely have it!

Awesome article for those of us ramping up on new areas of knowledge.

Keep it up! 👍

Yes, the amount of GIFs made me skip this post entirely. I find it very distracting when something is moving on the screen while I try to read.
