Episode notes

When we think of creativity, we think of these long, extended blocks. But that's not the way the modern workworld is. You can still get done even if you don't have a huge, extended block to work in. I'm writing the book ver on of building a second brain. So getting everything i've learned from course, from my writing, from this pot cask and turning it into a book.

Cranking out work in one big push or digesting information in one big gulp requires a lot of motivation and self-discipline, which are in scarce supply. By breaking down your work into a series of small, “intermediate packets,” you can make consistent progress while building up a reserve of useful knowledge. With these packets at your disposal, you’ll have many more options for how to combine and remix them into new things in the future.
