These 3 Hacks Will Make You Remember More - https://betterhumans.coach.me[..]will-make-you-remember-more-b30a3d9b3136 When trying to memorise new material, it’s easy to assume that the more work you put in, the better you will perform. Yet taking the occasional down time – to do literally nothing – may be exactly what you need. Just dim the lights, sit back, and enjoy 10-15 minutes of quiet contemplation, and you’ll find that your memory of the facts you have just learnt is far better than if you had attempted to use that moment more productively. - http://www.bbc.com[..]effortless-way-to-strengthen-your-memory This one is funny: "Distract yourself.

We evolved to survive in a cruel world, not to play around with our hacks. To make things worse, we evolved in a herd, which means that we intuitively respect the authority of the leader. But we also have to be creative, so we have to respect ourselves first. Finding the right dose of self-respect is a crucial thing in creative work. Too little self-respect could destroy our motivation and creativity, and too much will interfere with our ability to estimate the value of our ideas, and can easily result in investing time, money and effort in worthless projects. Noone is born a critical thinker, but almost anyone can become one. Think about what [Edward de Bono] said: “The need to be right all the time is the biggest bar to new ideas. It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong than to be always right by having no ideas”. http://hackaday.com[..]and-creative-thinking-in-a-hackers-work/ 转谈艺术。艺术当然要讲技术，不容易，要多下功夫。论技术，我认为艺术比科学重要。一位技术超凡的画家，想象力不足道，其作品可以卖得起钱。有大成的艺术家呢？单凭技术不足够，加上想象力超凡也不足够——不可或缺的是感情的表达。后者是艺术的主要困难所在。科学是不需要表达感情的。 - http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_47841af70102wca6.html http://concurrencyfreaks.blogspot.hk[..]/dope-i-should-have-thought-of-that.html why-facts-dont-change-our-minds - http://www.newyorker.com[..]17/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-minds What is the scientific method: definition, steps, and pitfalls - http://www.zmescience.com/science/scientific-method-steps
