Responses can be as brief or long as you’d like. | I am learning physics to develop an intuition for the hard limits of reality. I want to have a huge impact and I think understanding what isn't possible will help me focus on what is. Individual and group imposed limitations have been broken consistently, inversely, I've never seen someone break the laws of physics. I recently resolved an issue that really pissed me off. My scheduling and learning systems made no sense to me. I had been developing them for a while and it had culminated into a decorated hair ball of techniques, creative assumptions, and inert feedback. I eventually had enough and started ignoring my other responsibilities. I pulled out my tablet and started penning down some thoughts. I focused on the first principles, usually simple assumptions that build the bedrock for more creative ideas. Things like: I want to go from point A to point B, point B is a 4.0 GPA, assignments determine GPA. Eventually I found two principles that made everything click. First, there is a distinction between assignments with one try and ones with infinite tries. Second, practice tests accurately identify weak spots. After reading the textbook, the infinite try assignments--usually problem sets--should be used to access weak spots. These weak spots are then written down for spaced out review until the exam. One try assignments should therefore be done near their due dates as more work would have been done on the weak spots. This refined my preexisting architecture into something palatable. | ||||||||||
