Link roundup
- On learning difficult things: Pair up, reread, pay attention to cognition, explain it to someone, don't book yourself solid
- Don't talk to (just) me: Company-wide chatrooms and virtual meeting rooms increase serendipity
- Get rich with: the position of strength: Being able to work from abundance is awesome.
- Stay focused on the current task with a "procrastination pad": Write distractions down so that you can deal with them later (and so that your brain shuts up about them).
- Network better as an introvert with a socialization quota: I do this, although sometimes I let my quota be 0 or mostly online stuff.
