"I think the reason it's not natural to do that for a lot of people is we were raised in a, in a society where childhood with like the playful and gameful aspects of it," he says. "So you probably can't act literally like a child, but you can still bring that playful, gameful mindset towards your life activities" He adds: "If that was the normal, well, then everyone would be a lot more interesting and fun to be around."

Nick Milo is a YouTuber, blogger, and creator of the Linking Your Thinking Workshop, where he guides people of all different backgrounds to learn how to bring curiosity and joy back into notetaking.
