"If you don't understand a method presented in a course you are taking, stop and work backward. Go to the Internet and discover who first figured out the method or some of the earliest people to use it. Try to understand how the creative inventor arrived at the idea and why the idea is used--you can often find a simple explanation..." This is so good for math theorems

This book just made me realize, that although it is important to not procrastinate, we must also take breaks by doing rewarding activities. And those rewarding activities can be as simple as taking a nap, writing or journaling, dancing, taking a bath, rewards, playing sports, etc. It's really beautiful how studying needs activities and breaks. It's why time management and balance is so important :)

With so many trees in the city, you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life...Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees...But you knew there would always be the spring...

“But afterwards, when you were empty, it was necessary to read in order not to think or worry about your work until you could do it again. I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.”

“…I quickly realized that possession of knowledge wasn’t going to differentiate me from the people around me—it was how I used my knowledge that would.
Knowledge is not power. It only has the potential to be power. You can read this book and learn everything in it, but if you don’t take it and apply the knowledge, it will be useless.”

atomic habits and limitless author interactions? Yes
