Writing is Thinking?

Here is the snippet from Mr. Feynman's interview

Weiner: (Referring to Feynman’s journals) And so this represents the record of the day-to-day work.

Feynman: I actually did the work on the paper.

Weiner: That s right. It wasn’t a record of what you had done but it is the work.

Feynman: It’s the doing it — it’s the scrap paper.

Weiner: Well, the work was done in your head but the record of it is still here.

Feynman: No, it’s not a record, not really, it’s working. You have to work on paper and this is the paper. OK?

Information Vs knowledge

Information Vs knowledge

Brain is really good at removing content it feel is not required. And how it knows it is required. Repetition, remember spaced repetition. Following the forgetting curve we can solidify knowledge.

But knowledge is more than that, we are pattern seekers. We build patterns, repeat it until we know the underlying pattern and brain becomes effective in executing the pattern. Compare the day you started learning to drive to post your learning curve. If you play any musical instrument go back to day one and today.

Interleaving Of Ideas

Remember old movies had guns with only chamber to fire the bullet, Someone who was working on ships came back and thought merging the steering wheels and guns, And voila Colt revolver.

Cars where made before Ford, but Ford came in and brought assembly line with him.

Phone were made before hand, touch based devices where there but iPhone came in and replace the dial pad with screen.

What came in play in all of these one domains or fields knowledge was taken and applied to other. “Interleaving”.

Knowledge Graph

Two things have happened here. First storage of knowledge in chunks. Breaking down of a big concept in smallest concept form.

Second is building an interconnected graphs and exposure of the concept in multiple fields. When you sit back and go through the notes.

Stages of a Note

  • Fleeting notes : Quick jot of the content
  • Literature notes : Detailed, from where we picked and why and what are the thoughts.
  • Permanent notes — Moving here and making the required trails, what are your thoughts

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
