Week 3 'Learning How to Learn' by Dr. Barbara Oakley #coursera

Zombie Mode & Habits

Well, my feeling is kind of weird, over the time my mind has become addictive to new information, not the details. but continuous supply of shallow, rarely deep information on topics, which are actually technical and interesting but outside the scope of my immediate field. I feel, need to check hacker news and Facebook after every minute or two. So, now I started closing Facebook tab. with this I have increased the task length and stopped being online on Facebook and stopped posting on Facebook and twitter. So, not posting means, my friends wont be liking any of my stuff, that means I am not getting the reward for opening Facebook and slowly, I have got away from Facebook.

I also started writing more, although I make lots of mistakes but still, I try to reward myself for writing by sending my writing to friend and engaging with friend in a discussion is like a reward from me. So, I am shifting my zombies to make useful writing, while learning new things and using friends engagement to identify my mistakes and at the same time rewarding myself.
