Robin taught me the tool of “take lots of liveblogging notes”.
aw, a little h/t to me.
Just to note, I’d describe the thing I suggested differently:
(mostly I’m going to write this for my own clarity)
your goal at the time of my suggestion was [learning about transformers], and you were primarily just reading and occasionally taking notes seemingly-for-memory (like writing down key concepts). It seemed to me that to “be in touch with the territory” of learning, you should be watching your learning process, ie the felt-sense of the building of the schema as you go over the material, the sensations of uncertainty/ambiguity/confusion, the sensations of insight, etc. To see what you’re attending to and how you’re attending to it within the constraints of your sequential, moment-to-moment experience. And yeah, a great way to do that is write down what’s going on internally while you interact with the material.
(perhaps you didn’t hear it this way, but that’s a bit of the generator / what I meant~)
