Table of Contents

When trying to heterogenizing your activities, avoid multitasking with your phone, i.e. eat while watching a video, work out while listening to a podcast, unless you stop them both at the same time.

1. Rationale

the content in the video/podcast that you attend to 2 consecutive different activity more alike.

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.
