Goofy noticing: if I watch a lecture video at the speed that feels most comfortable (usually 2-3x) and pause intermittently to write notes + SRS prompts, the total time consumed is roughly equal to the 1x lecture running time (but I’m much more engaged).
Conversation
I notice that watching a lecture end-to-end and *then* writing notes/prompts often makes the latter feel more like a chore. Similar observation with books and even live conversations.

Like after a really rich conversation I’ll feel like “oh my gosh this was so good so much to unpack and internalize!” but I’ll end up writing about it for longer than the original conversation lasted! This often “feels bad”… but probably shouldn’t.

What are some of your SRS prompts?
For me, I just follow my gut and type out things that struck me or want to remember which is fun, but when I look back at the video, I wonder if I’m missing something.
