Yeah, I have found that when my mind breaks, I have to relax while it heals before I can engage it in the same sort of vigorous exercise again.
It’s important to remember that that’s what is going on. When you become overloaded and concentrate on other things, you are not neglecting your duty. Your mind needs time to heal and become stronger by processing the new information you’ve given it.
Hmm… I think I’ve slipped into “defending a thesis” mode here. The truth is that the comment you replied to was much too broad, and incorrect as stated, as you correctly pointed out. Thanks for catching my error!
You are right, it depends on the specifics. And if you focus on other things with no plan to ever return to the topic that troubled you, that’s different. But if you’ve learned things that make demands on your mind beyond what it can meet, then failing to do what is in fact impossible for you is not negligence.
