I agree about the schedule. I currently have 2 hours a day for learning. I spend an hour at a cafe reading (currently Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harari) every morning before work. And an hour at home after work before anyone else gets home to do software stuff (currently learrning/implementing Stripe payments). Then on top of that if I have free time in the weekend I spend it on whatever project excites me the most(learning to sketch atm).
I think that building up strong habits around what you are working on makes it easy to maintain momentus.
I also agreee that even small increments of time can incredibly productive, like listening to an audiobook during a 15 minute commute.
- bwaxxlo 9y agoHow do you find Sapiens? I started reading it (about pg. 50 now) but I find it too full conclusions/statements that are not really founded on data. Basically, it tends sets up two or more premises and then somehow draws a conclusion that isn't in anyway related to the original premises (i.e: almost pseudoscience).
- foopod 9y agoI am nearly finished now and really enjoyed reading it. The book leaves me with more questions than it answers, I appreciate this in a book though. It provides just enough information to interest you in a subject, then offers a few common theories with a reasoned most likely case (this is especially prevelant in the beginning of the book due to the lack of information available about humanity tens of thousands of years ago). Most of the assumptions made though are not the author's and there are references in the Notes section at the back if you do want to pursue these further.
