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).

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.

I think it just feels like time is being wasted; you’re just reiterating over the things you learned so it doesnt feel like you’re learning anything new. But Ive noticed I definitely do learn more just by writing
