Very interesting, thanks. Great idea that twitter is a resurfacing tool (positive take on echo chamber bias!). You’ve tapped into s’thing. @readwiseio has been great each morning. And I forgot @rsnous made Screenotate, I use it a dozen times a day

Right - have to apply new mental models to rewire your brain with them. Why exec coaching as you’re in the thick of running a biz is helpful (you’re constantly forced to apply learnings), while imo biz school isn’t as much (like highlighting while reading).
-
Also why reading multiple things at once can make them all stick more - you can use the content of each as a testing ground for the mental models of one and vice versa.

The essay by

great insights and thanks for the Readwise recommendation. kindle highlights always felt lackluster but this really connects it to an eventual payoff.

In the same way that owning a GoPro makes me want to do more action-y things, Readwise makes me a little more excited to read. Seems like the ability to capture and reflect drives the action that’s being captured.

the guy behind the seminal SuperMemo for spaced repetition also promotes ‘incremental reading’ for reinforcing key concepts from read materials: https://www.supermemo.com/help/read.htm

From the article: “Incremental reading converts electronic articles into durable knowledge in your memory.”
-
And “The key to creativity is an association of remote ideas. By studying multiple subjects in unpredictable order, you will increase your power to associate ideas. This will immensely improve your creativity”

Awesome article. We’re actually working on exactly this at
@readwiseio. We call it “intelligent resurfacing”.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

There’s a lot of evidence that spaced repetition does indeed help memory. The Feynman technique is basically spaced repetition on steroids.

Makes sense biologically too because your brain effectively goes “oh I’ve seen this many times before, it must be important to my survival”

I have been doing this for years at the suggestion of
@EmersonSpartz and it has changed my life. Spaced review bakes things into your subconscious; your reactions and general tendencies become an amalgam of what you read. You act on the information automatically.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

My own 2 cents.. I’ve found the more a piece of reading provokes emotion, the more I remember it. For example, I tend to retain memory and understanding with books where I have a strong visceral reaction to characters or there’s an anecdote that provokes feelings.

Current reading pattern: read through once, highlight interesting bits. If the piece was stimulating, go back a 2nd time and read through the highlights to write down notes. If some useful concepts or ideas I want to see regularly appear, put that into Anki.
