Fragmented attention, “want to know” addiction and totally self-inflicted - but do not think that I am the only one. We tend to open the valve and try to take in as much as we can on a given day because there is a fear that we might miss something. However, most of the information can have a short shelf life and not play into the topics we strive to understand greater. I am finding over a longer timeline there are too many bits and pieces I am trying to pick-up and am missing the meat of an issue. <br />Something that I am finding helpful when reading technical books (reading for learning or practice), along the lines what Harlan said, is to fill up page margins with notes and/or highlight selected issues. I then can go back later after the info marinates and review those areas, write down those notes and further thoughts into a notepad/document as my own index. While not a unique concept, the process of going back to revisit the concepts and actually write new notes helps me retain more of the information.<br />I think my approach is changing to better filter what does come out the information faucet. I agree there is a need to stop, take a breath and better understand the text in front of us before replying, commenting, re-Tweeting, etc. or we only exacerbate the problem. Learning is a marathon not a race.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017969323938012503noreply@blogger.com
