@irrlicht@social.lithio.fr Going based on the vibes I picked up -- nothing I could find for the bit I looked was directed at e.g. self-managed researchers -- common themes were:
- don't rely on memory to remember facts/context, get it written for reference
- get a framework to work within
- make learning as stoppable/resumable as possible, so you can just head-down-tap-out-walk and resume later
- audio is easier to listen to at hard times -- rewinding and relistening is useful (I think? I can't find where I read/thought that)
---
Based on that, some not-expert-advice-just-me-mouthing-off is, thoughts that come to me are maybe--
- first thing seeing a paper, make an outline of the headings, with spaces for notes.
- Only then go back to the start and start filling in the outline with the info from the paper
- if you don't morally object to any LLM stuff, maybe look into some of the text->audio tools they make? the times I've unintentionally ran into that it was..janky but functional for some uses
?
