So I’ve decided on my next project! I’m going to spend a month learning new things. Unlike hack-a-day, where the focus was mostly on doing something every day, here I’m trying to cultivate a different attitude. So the following are all encouraged:
- Being curious about stuff
- Getting distracted
- Having fun
- New experiences
- Being goofy, even if I don’t “learn” anything from goof experiences
- Naps
- Hanging with other people
And these are discouraged:
- Completionism
- “Grinding” through a nonfiction book I’m not that into
- Rigorously writing up everything
- TV and other mindless activities
- (tentatively) reading?
