I feel like one of the most important tools/skills that I see top scientist or problem solvers in general use, is utilizing workflows and methods that allow them to focus on a difficult problem for days and months, instead of just hours.
This is a really important point, which I kind of understood (“research” means having threads of inquiry that extend into the past and future), but I hadn’t been thinking of it in terms of workflows that facilitate that kind of engagement.
nods I’ve gotten a lot of mileage over the years from thinking about workflows and systems that systematically direct your attention towards various parts of reality.
