# The curse of knowledge, beginner’s mind, and barriers to creativity

*“The best way to learn is to learn from those who have come before you, who have figured it out and wrote down their wisdom. So I read to get their knowledge, to take advantage of the work they’ve done to figure it out.”*

But how, then, do you avoid only thinking like them, and making the same mistakes they did? If we assume that once we learn something and take it to heart—we learn something that makes a lot of things make sense—that it’s harder to then reject that idea and think of new ideas that might actually be closer to the truth, how do we avoid thinking like the status quo and never challenging it?

This is a question that I’ve dealt with for most of my life, and over the past year I found out it has a name. The curse of knowledge is the idea that people who have more knowledge are unable to think about things from the perspective of those who have less knowledge. It’s similar to the innovator’s dilemma in that it describes a sit

## How perfectionism can lead to procrastination and lower performance

Lately, I’ve been exploring what the tradeoffs of optimization are. That is, when we try to optimize what we do in work and life, what are the effects? What actually gets *worse* when we try to make things better?

One that seems obvious is that **more optimization leads to higher cognitive load**. The more we want to do something well, the more mental effort we’ll have to put into doing that task. This doesn’t just amount to the additional work needed to do something well, but I hypothesize that optimizing also seems to involve a *second track* of thinking, running alongside the track of the action itself, that is dedicated to observing how we are doing that action and evaluating whether we are doing it well or not.

If we assume that the need to optimize increases cognitive load, either beacuse the desire to do something well involves more mental effort, or because the simultaneous reflexive self-evaluation of our performance requires u
