### The Secret

#### Allow yourself to go down rabbit holes

A rabbit hole is not a distraction. A rabbit hole is your brain trying to tell you to pay attention to something you’re curious about. Ignore algorithmic rabbit holes.

#### If you see something, save something

Pay attention to what feels resonant to you. Save breadcrumbs and build a path for yourself to walk down later on. The ability to classify information in a personal way is a muscle worth exercising.

#### “Creativity is just connecting things”

Over time, build contexts for yourself and your ideas. Analyze what happens when you connect those contexts to someone else’s.

#### Remember

The goal is not self-improvement. The goal is engaging more deeply with the World.

a situation in which you become so interested in a subject or an activity that you cannot stop trying to find out about it or doing it: I know when I read a WWI novel I inevitably end up down a rabbit hole researching the war. You can kind of find yourself getting sucked into various attention rabbit holes.

Make a map of your personal concepts & ideas, then from here expand it with more concepts

Because there's an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in.

A garden is not an object, but a process.
