My point being while knowledge is great for its own sake (I love it too), if you are trying to operationalize it, you need to attach it directly at the moment you are going to use it (Cue). Not in some Word doc that has a large amount of friction attached to your... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• In praise of habits – so much more than mindless reflexes

  I recently read a really good book about habits[1]. I really liked how he described the benefit of habits, where essentially your brain can fully offload the effort of thinking when you're performing one like tying your shoes. One of the big takeaways from it for me was how its more difficult to break a habit than to "reprogram it".
