using context for primitive actions

There’s a handful of good reasons to do that:

you’d remember what are your options

then you won’t be just reading the material for an hour and forgot everything

you can balance time you put into your options

you may mindmap some new materials, and then go back to your older notes to see if there’s anything related or you want to change about the older notes. This would also refresh your memeory, add connections, help you remember both.

you’d have a simpler work environment

You’d be aware you only would be doing the 4 primitives, and if there’s anything else you’d done, it’s a combination of them done to a number of specified objects It’ll be smooth, you’d focus better, get into flow more easily. You don’t have to decide on a potentially infinite list of possible actions, some of them you may not even understand fully.

you’d steer clear of distractions

We are exposed to distractions at all time, computer would que you to watch netflix, youtube videos, play games; notepad would que you to doodle, test your pen. With a clear, short, finite list of primitives we are about to perform in the next period of time, you have an excellent reference to what should not attempt.
