How To Keep Track Of What You’ve Learnt – Freestyle Mind

  • How often should you recall?


    How often you need to recall depends on the mole of information you’ve stored and how important it is for you. As a general rule you should recall at the end of the day, after 24 hours, after 1 week, after 1 month, after 6 months, and after one year. This should be simple to do if your system is in order, as on a typical day you only have to recall 6 files. I tend to do a quick review at the end of the week for old files, but that’s a personal choice and you have to try what works for yourself.

Michael H. Goldhaber » Blog Archive » The Earnestness of Being Important

  • Deciding that something is important is a social process, depending on
    at least a shared alignment as to the urgency of a certain action or
    viewpoint, usually in response to someone’s capacity to get and hold
    attention around this, and sometimes to a shared perception that gets
    translated into immediate action
  • As I have argued elsewhere, attention is not synonymous with time.
    Nonetheless, like every human action the act of paying attention must
    take place in time, and so is limited by the time available.

Technology Review: TR35

  • Schachter thinks the fact that del.icio.us does not rely on the
    selflessness of its users makes it more robust than it might otherwise
    be. "Im not a big believer in expecting a large number of people to act
    in an altruistic fashion," he says. "You want to rely on people to do
    what they do." The echoes of Adam Smith are unmistakable: del.icio.us
    is a system that, like a healthy market, turns individual self-interest
    into collective good.
  • Regardless of what happens, Schachter has already shown that out of
    the seeming chaos of hundreds of thousands of independent and eccentric
    judgments, order and wisdom can emerge. And if you think about
    del.icio.us in terms of his idea of making memory scalable, he's also
    helped create a rather remarkable social memory system, in which all of
    us are able to find more and better information than we would on our
    own.
