Thank you very much for taking the time to read the post and comment.

I still have to calibrate the right length of the posts. At the moment I have tried to stay on 1600 words which is considered a sweet spot on Substack. In this sense I probably got too hung up on this number by adding more detail than I should have and ended up making the post boring.

Perhaps I failed to convey this correctly, but the post does not say NOT to relax and enjoy a media EVER. The intention was to explain a general outline to the optimal learning method, which is to be applied when one wants to learn (what I call ‘usable’ information).

Rather than for fans of Cal Newport, it is more aimed at fans of Nick Milo and Tiago Forte, let's say in general of the PKM world.

I once read a blog post that stayed with me. I don’t remember the author, I took no notes on it, and I’m struggling to find it to link you to it. Yet it was so powerful I can paraphrase all of it, in its entirety, right now:

“There is no rule that says a blog post has to have more than one idea or more than one sentence.”

Perfect.
