This is happening tonight!

Just need to recover from spicy food (intense stuff guys) and I’ll start doing some pre-readings on attention 🧠
Also unsure if I want to have music on the stream or not

Spent the day listening to Sarah Vaughan and that’s not exactly tools for thought music is it 😅
Live now!
Phew, all done! This topic is hard because there's a ton of resources that have already covered this, so I'm not sure if my own thoughts on it would be justified. Ah well!

Wow the serendipity of this

It’s always nice seeing worlds you’ve been a part of for so long come together 😊

(Speaking as the host of RoamFM + a SuperLearner certified coach as part of Jonathan Levi’s academy)
There was going to be some time when I want to dedicate a % of exploring my notes to memory palaces, markers and more, sharing experiences I’ve had with clients and seeing them grow their palaces

Now may be a good time to do so!
Related to this, if anyone has any questions on the craft (speed reading, memory palaces, and information processing) I’m here to help out!

Question for @RoamResearch users: What's your favourite theme to use? I'm in a mood to spice up my other graphs!

Switching to a different graph for the first time in a while and I forgot how different vanilla theme looks from my own 😅
@RoamResearch I have answered my own question, because it occurred to me that I can just do this (h/t @rcvd_io)
@RoamResearch @rcvd_io Tried importing iA Writer's Quattro into my private graph and I have to say I'm not a fan of it

I love Quattro, but I think it works best in mono themes and not ones with popping colours (don't know how else to explain it)

It looks scattered (R) compared to mine (L) ImageImage

Do knowledge workers do something like 'collective thinking sessions'?

eg. A 2 hour session where you have an agenda for discussion/thinking a topic:

First 30m: Discussing potential questions, fallbacks, etc.
1hr: deep thinking work in silence
Last 30m: Discussion and review
I would think this format works really well, especially in CKM environments which is what Roam is advocating for (the digital version of this session)

(currently thinking of more ways to get into that environment where I'm compelled to naturally deep dive into topics etc.)
I'm under the firm belief that with proper controlled conditions, you can broaden angles in thinking about something depending on number of people involved:

Solo in private: chaotic freedom
Collective sessions: Conversational insight
Thinking in public: According to the world

Something I like to do in my spare time is swapping words out in sentences and exploring what they could possibly mean, eg.

Writing an essay
___ an essay

?

Painting an essay
Building an essay
Calculating an essay
...

Helps with broadening my tacit definitions!
eg, if writing an essay means penning down an experience or thought into words, painting an essay could mean doing the same but on a canvas, your words are colours and the shapes are your beliefs
After you get bored of it, the next step is to question the meaning of the word essay

You're bound to find some commonalities between these words so it'll get saturated, and the only way to move forward then is to question the very thing you're working on

What IS an essay?

Who’s the Bob Ross of #toolsforthought ?
And by Bob Ross I mean, extremely calm and soothing to listen from, thinks well, when you take in anything they do you enter a state of bliss that protects you from the world (unless I’m missing something from Bob Ross that I don’t know here)
For preservation, how I came to this thought: I woke up thinking “the infinite canvas is a potential barrier for mass thinkers because they lean towards order on the chaos vs order spectrum” and canvases led me to painters -> Bob Ross -> who’s a Bob Ross Thinker
