Ever feel like you're just skimming the surface of all the information you capture?
We live in a "pull to refresh" world, constantly bombarded with fresh content. But what if we could process it more meaningfully?
Recently, I came across a story of a 99 year old concert pianist. It opened my eyes to see the parallel to my own note-taking and learning (personal knowledge management) journey.

"Review more than you capture" - great mantra.

[@b2trees]

Thanks for this. For me, the missing pieces in my practice are Review and Reflect.

Great stuff Greg! I love the idea of "thinking pods". It's crazy how effective long walks are for idea generation. I can't go a day without a long walk. Its like a lost art in the age of distraction!

[@Greg_Wheeler]

Thanks man. 1000% agree!

[@Promentalist]

Couldn’t agree more about walking

[@thetruthseekerswithrandymc5850]

This was great information. Instead of scrolling social media, scroll through my notes. That was key for me.

[@Greg_Wheeler]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Promentalist]

Thanks for this video! I absolutely love this kind of content.

[@Greg_Wheeler]

Glad it was helpful. I enjoyed making it!

[@markmoore9137]

Thanks for sharing these ideas. I found it quite helpful - not the long shower thing as i can fall asleep there, but the read fewer and review more suggestions. I have the collect dots disease, and those two practices form a good counterbalance. I'm experimenting now with just one nonfiction and one fiction book at a time. Taking the time to enjoy and digest them. More time reviewing my notes for zettle material, and more time linking in the idea garden. Again, thanks.

[@Greg_Wheeler]

Love the idea of 1 book of each non-fiction and fiction.

Last year I stumbled across Cal Newports podcast and have become completely obsessed with it. This video covers a lot of thinking as well. Are you familiar with his work (books, podcast and articles)? Thanks

[@Greg_Wheeler]

I am! Love Cal Newport's stuff. I still wanna read his latest Slow Productivity.

[@petr_hvrk]

Hey Greg, you inspired me again. I need to find my thinking pod ASAP :-)

[@Greg_Wheeler]

Yes! 👊🏼

[@hawaii3199]

Great video, Greg. Thank you for the inspiration. BTW, what app did you use to construct your presentation? Amazing clarity and organization...

[@Greg_Wheeler]

Thank you! I used Figjam (www.figma.com/figjam/) from Figma.

[@tc11487]

@@Greg_Wheeler How does Figjam compare to Miro, in your opinion? I've started looking into both

[@Greg_Wheeler]

@@tc11487 I haven't looked into Miro yet. But may be a future video idea!

[@TimothyGraw-jy5pi]

Hi Greg, your share is excellent. I want to ask if there is any potential to cooperate Lattics product?

[@toddstarkey]

Greg, great video and I also liked your book notes guide. Had a quick question on that. You mention quotes and sparks and then also ‘thoughts’. Are thoughts and sparks the same thing or different? Just got a little confused on that transition. Thx!

[@Greg_Wheeler]

Thanks! Good question. Yes, sparks are thoughts/ideas I have when reading a book. Sorry for the confusion there.

[@toddstarkey]

Thx! That is what I thought. I keep working on my book notes workflow so wanted to make sure I understood. Keep up the great work!
