Episode notes
Learning Can Mask Inaction
- People often replace doing with endless learning, mistaking consumption for progress.
- Active creation is itself a learning process that accelerates real skill development.
Friend's Podcast Delay Example
- The host described helping a friend who delayed launching her podcast and website by overconsuming information.
- That friend concluded, "learning is the new procrastination," which crystallized the problem for them.
Practice Outpaces Passive Study
- Active learning differs from passive consumption because it requires doing the work itself.
- Practicing a skill (e.g., playing the cello) yields faster improvement than only reading or listening about it.
