RE: HOW TO DEAL WITH INFORMATION OVERLOAD - MY STORY

in #lifehack • 7 years ago

I totally agree when you talk about the process - "learn and do" because internet knowledge is something you should implement as fast as possible or at some point it can be already too old. However, I am not sure about teaching. Could you comment, how does it make you better? You mentioned that blogging helped you to write and think better, but the same result can be achieved not by teaching, but for example by writing review articles. Don't you consider teaching as giving up more information to your competitors?

    Teaching can help you understand stuff much better. Check out Feynman's technique https://medium.com/taking-note/learning-from-the-feynman-technique-5373014ad230

    Thanks for the comment. To answer...

    How does it make you better?

    • By trying to put what you learned in your own words, you are forced to put the information you've learned into a coherent framework that other people can understand. By doing that, you will remember much better than by any other means.

    Why blogging?

    • Because in my niche, it is a way to Do and Teach simultaneously. By creating content, I'm increasing the numbers of followers that I have and therefore the future payout of my posts.

    Am I not giving information to my competitor?

    • I am. But one thing that I gain in return is trust which is much more valuable than information or knowledge. Information only cost time at this point with the internet and only a minority of people will actually implement "free" advice. From my experience, the information people act on the most is information that has a price tag on it.

    Well, that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. I think the fact that I used outsourced articles written by others, made me at some point not so much experienced. Will try to do better :)
