Thinking Tools
We need more tools to make our thinking better
Mental Models is one of the tool in our toolbox
Note Taking (Bidirectional note taking) is another tool.
Can we make people remember more?
Exponential scheduling testing of knowledge using flag cards or simple questions
Spaced repetition
Providing few short questions a long the away of vídeo to increase retention
Similar to micro learning
Simple question show the user is not paying enough attention
Adobe → Sketch → Figma
Expensive to develop new mediums for thought but easy to copy
Adobe/Sketch/Figma provides a “blank” canvas, where you can interact using basic building blocks like artboards, basic shapes.
We are now thinking in blocks The era of Content Builders
Instead of just using writing or image, we think using blocks. Blocks are our new medium of thought.
We have iPython notebooks that can be think as executable notebooks
Mdx is also essays + code
Reader can modify parameters to test, to learn, and to improve their understanding
Dynamic is better than static to learn
Good tools is a byproduct or working on serious problems
Camomila média is when someone expands the “ideas” of what you can do with the medium
Instead of a simple essay we can have dynamic/interactive essays
Who are the one pushing the médiums?
How can we push writing, how can we push music? How can we push software? How can we push digital garden? How can we push hardware?
Simple things like flash cards can have profound benefits in long term
NoCode could be a new medium for thinking thoughts.
NoCode let you build powerful things with easy of drag and drop interface
Excel as a thinking tool, as you can put some number there and let some insights happen there
Instead of notebooks, why not nocodebooks?
Google is a thinking tools, as it helps us find new information based on our queries.
