“The most important prerequisite to understanding is to be able to admit when you don’t understand something. And when admitting you don’t know, you are more likely to ask the questions that will enable you to learn.”

“Give yourself a deadline. Don’t make it too easy or too impossible. But stick to it. Treat each day as another day to bring the action to completion. Don’t put off. Don’t be lazy. Don’t be sidetracked. Remember what is priority and what is not. I know from December to Feb, I need to lock the chickens up. But I got busy doing something that was not a priority. So I didn’t meet my deadline. The fox had his deadline and kept to it. He got 4 chickens. Sorry chickens, I deferred. A hard lesson to learn.”

“Abundance is—well, abundant. The adverse psychological impact of the information age manifests itself linguistically, in information overload (1962) and in the entry for information fatigue (1991). Although those two last phrases are simply the latest additions to OED’s coverage, for those engaged in any form of online research they could just as well describe the arc of a working day. Perhaps this is why the OED definition of information fatigue, while entirely accurate, also sounds faintly heartfelt: Apathy, indifference, or mental exhaustion arising from exposure to too much information, esp. (in later use) stress induced by the attempt to assimilate excessive amounts of information from the media, the Internet, or at work.”
