Startups, Memory, and Why Games Are Fun
- AlexBlom 16y agoSMART Goals have been around for a while. Amazing how often we neglect them.
- zackattack 16y agoYeah, Brian Johnson says we already know what to do, it's the process of actually implementing it is what's difficult. Another perspective is that if we know how to do, but we're not actually doing it, then we really don't know how to do it. Perhaps the reason we neglect SMART goals is because they haven't been formulated in a way such that after learning about them, they become properly embedded into our consciousness framework.
- zackattack 16y agoI know this article is really long, but I feel conflicted. On one hand, I want to satisfy the intellectual curiosity of the interested reader, and feel compelled to go into tangents into any points I deem relevant. On the other hand, it's probably better from an ethical perspective to make things short and digestible: what good is information that doesn't get understood and remembered? And it'd probably drive more traffic it was more fun to read. The Slideshow itself is an excellent example of how you can have fun learning about the science of fun.. my article is more inclusive, though. Maybe I can integrate the two perspectives? Maybe breaking it up into multiple blog days would be appreciated? Do people like that? I personally can't stand it; when something interests me, I want to have all the information at my disposal now. And I don't like having to click through to multiple pages.
- jiaaro 16y agoI think what people don't like is the idea of having it broken up and having to wait for the rest, but in practice they like articles they can read in 10 or 15 minutes. I vote for breaking out any tangents that could make for an interesting 10-15 minute read on their own.
- zackattack 16y agoI think this is the right answer. I should probably refactor this article.
