I definitely needed a book like this, my life is really all over the place rn and I'm overwhelmed with all the things i want to do and the knowledge i want to obtain. Thank you so much 👍👍
@@robertus55 I am a person who's grown to depend on books/text to get him out of the realm of words and back into reality. This is one of those books. It's using nice words but it's not saying anything I don't know. It's used by most, myself included, as a form of procrastination. It's just words packaged a different way saying the obvious. That we wound't need anyone telling it to us, weren't we so much in the realm of words
Thanks so much for this summary! I read this book before and put it on my bedside table this week hoping to organise my chaotic life - but didn't get round to reading it! Let's see if I can get started by organising my room!
There is a spirit of cross-pollination of Dave Allen, Cal Newport (even prior to the "Deep Work" mention), and Marie Kondo/Fumio Sasaki I am picking up from the summary here. Hope to check it out based on that (added to the never-ending amazon wish list in the meantime :P ). Great work Robert!
hey thanks Connor! Sometimes one needs to go back to the classics (Dave Allen) --- as I don't think I had my hands on one of his books. But yes, ideas built on ideas.
Im sure I'll continue watching more of your content, I also bet that with your hard work and effort that your channel will tremendously grow, hopefully
ARE YOU GUYS ALL BOTS??!! This book has maybe 5 good ideas for you to organize your mind and he spreads them out over 300 pages of anecdotes and analogies. The author didn’t write this with the intent to help you organize your mind he wrote it with the intent to take your money
The book should be retitled The Organizing Mind. { The mind is always messy and not organized. But its unique strength is that it is always actively organizing. } (This is not a play on words; there is a difference between Organized [ a finished product ] and Organizing [ an ongoing process ].
oh hey thank you for your kind words here! I am aiming to improve my content delivery methods so that I can reach more people indeed! Very nice of you to say that again! Have a great day ahead!
The human brain 🧠 has been largely the same for thousands of years in terms of processing capacity as hardware evolution takes a very long time. In last 20 years, information that human brain encounters on daily basis has probably grown by 1000x or even more. This creates hardware processing issues for the human brain and from reading articles to summaries we just want to know headlines and make a conclusion. This hyper concluding low capacity brain is extremely easy to manipulate as it has no intention to get into details. TLDR. Kids born in information overload generation and natural ADHD compared to generations before. Smarter and dumber in different ways than the previous generation. Marketing books and courses need to adapt and strategies for hyper concluding brain need to be thought again. The brain needs information fasting few hours a day to connect the dots it has collected. Collected dots are useless without connections.
