First tweetstorm :)
The biggest issue, when learning about systems, networked thought, accelerated learning, etc, is handling how to implement it all in a practical, realistic, and time-efficient manner.

So many systems are perfect in theory but fall apart when confronted with reality because they don't fit into your environment (external and internal).

The constant struggle between reality (selection tests) and theory leads you to systems that work and actually increase positive outcomes in your life.

At first, your systems will slow you down and reduce your output, until you improve them and get past the learning curve.

The point is, you have to go through that struggle. Staying in a loop of learning and theory will only lead you further astray from systems that work.
Staying in that theoretical loop was my biggest weakness for the past few years, in all areas of life (=action-faking).

It seems to me that the people with the best systems had to fit unperfect workflows under strict time constraints.

This forced them to quickly pass through selection tests (because outputs are required), discard inefficient tools fast, and iterate on their process regularly.

I'd love to get your take on that! I'm relatively new to this world.

How do you bridge the gap between theory and reality with all these "knowledge-work enhancement" practices?

What are the workflows, processes, and systems that you use, that stood the harsh test of reality?

And I'm aware there's not really a good structure in this tweetstorm, I wrote it in one sitting, "stream of consciousness" style.
I love Twitter though, and I feel like it's one of the best platforms to express my thoughts. More tweetstorms coming in the future!
