Do it as a primitive action in general context

1. Whys

1.1. why 30 minutes

the number is arbitary and 30 minutes is roughly when:

  • I would get wired to reading too much that I just want to keep on reading without taking any notes or remembering anything
  • I start to forget what happened at the start of it

1.2. why dumping

so that

  • I don’t need to remember them -> more mental load to understand new stuff
  • I can refer to them quickly later -> retain knowledge

1.3. why primitive action

so that the state of having a clear mind and more knowledge at my finger tip is closer to me.

top of my mind

this is a navigation of ideas I want to keep at the top of my mind, yet too lazy or can’t carry a physical copy of.
