“emotions organize — rather than disrupt — rational thinking.” Often, when something “resonates” with us, it is our intuitive/right brain/System 1 mind telling us something is valuable before our analytical/left brain/System 2 mind even knows what’s going on.
This means that I need to pay attention to my feelings while i am reading. When something sparks an interest or resonates with me i need to notice and create a note of it.
