      After you finish a book, close the loop by tweeting or blogging about it. This can be as simple as sharing your favorite passages. 11/

      Or learn from Tiago (@fortelabs), who has a whole process for digesting his notes and then tweetstorming them. https://praxis.fortelabs.co/mood-as-extrapolation-engine-using-emotions-to-generate-momentum-65a2e5940aae#b337 … 12/

      One last tip: Set your current book as your phone's lock screen, as a reminder of how you'd rather spend your time. (Here's mine...) 13/pic.twitter.com/ubmcyli3cN

      https://twitter.com/unfinishthought/status/857913958740578304 … I've stopped all straining to try and grasp concepts. 1) it's overrated 2) easier to pick up the book next time.

      Thought Unfinished added,

      Studying dense material isn't hard, you make it hard by furrowing your brow to grasp it. The ego thinks itself the only element in learning.

      This is critical. T. Galleway explains it beautifully in The Inner Game of Work

      I'm intrigued by this, but I confess I don't understand. What's wrong with effort? How else are we to learn difficult concepts?

      Galleway coached his tennis students by asking them to observe the stitches on the tennis ball as it flew through the air

      This distracted their Self 1 (analytical, critical) so that their Self 2 (intuitive, embodied) could take control and learn naturally

      He developed this into a powerful theory of learning: run interference on Self 1 in whatever you're learning, and Self 2 will take over

      Self 1/2 = System 1/2?

          Except they're reversed. Kahneman's System 1 would be Galleway's Self 2, and System 2 would be Self 1. Just to keep things interesting
