The Power of Idea Recycling

Idea recycling involves borrowing from oneself and passing information through time. Our present and future selves are essentially strangers, and we can't fully remember or predict what we know and will know. By preserving our intellectual assets, such as reports, analyses, and lists, we can recycle ideas and see them in a new light at each stage. Each recycled form, be it a text message to an article, an article to a speech, or a speech to a course, helps the idea grow and become clearer. Unlike physical materials, ideas don't degrade but continue to improve.
