Just write, just code, just do accounting, just play the violin, just do math - it's relevant to any field, skill or passion.

Just write, just code, just do accounting, just play the violin, just do math - it's relevant to any field, skill or passion.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoUnironically the best way to learn higher math is to just do more of it. The more proofs you see and understand the easier it is to deal with more complex problems and the larger arsenal you have at your disposal. Same for code. But the key, I think, is that you have to try new things, which also includes deliberately attempting to improve what you already have via new approaches. Avoiding uncomfortable situations e.g. during synthesis, is not going to help you learn anything as there's nothing to learn, at best you learn to type or write faster. It has to be deliberate, and you need to be relentless in the pursuit.
- vidyesh 4y agoSure to get better at something you have to practice, the more regular you are it the easier it gets?. But writing has some other benefits which not all non-creative activities have. Some of the benefits make you a better person perhaps, things like the ability to formulate your thoughts and putting them is words really makes you a good communicator, by writing down things you offload your brain from the pressure of remembering something continuously, with time you learn to use writing as way to offload intrusive and sometimes debilitating thoughts/ideas/data from your working memory so you can keep doing what you are doing. For some writing has helped with making time and space for other things in life as ones brain is not constantly trying to remember things all the time. We use public knowledge sources to forget certain things as they are quickly accessible and available, the same can be done with a a self documented personal knowledge bank.
