avoid getting wired by heterogenizing activity

heterogenizing activity

alternate delivery, format, nature in general of the focused material, and/or method of attention.

For example, on one’s way to understand a concept such as “what is PID controller”, they may go through the following activities:

  • homogenous version: watch film[on film] -> watch film[on film] -> read passage[on words] -> watch film[on film]
  • heterogeneous version: watch film[on film] -> literate idea[on reasoning, concepts, and observation] -> read article[on words] -> talk about the idea [serializing components] -> make graph [imagine, visualization]
heterogenization in action

controll the time you continuously do one thing; when having done it for long, change it’s delivery, format, or topic.

When you have written code on computer for 30 minutes, stop writing it and either take a look at the design, draw a graph of the code[format], sum up the progress, write it on paper, check the logic, or just do some little exercise.

why

homogeneous content would cause one to be wired, which is not good for creative experience for many reasons.

heterogenizing focused materials/means of analysis prevent one to be wired because of this.

wired

Wired/wiredness/staticity refers to the state where:

  • your attention is [intensively] projected to a fixed, small space [screen, cat, mostly screen]
  • the state tends to enhence itself, resulting in you focusing on a fixed, small space for a long time.

Skip rope for 2 minutes, at around 120 rpm

It is a quick and intense exercise to perform, with or without a skipping rope. Ideal for avoid getting wired by heterogenizing activity and quick work out after long time sitting

(Avoid wiredness)

Do it early, or it becomes too hard.
