The past few days I have been thinking a lot about this post — you know, the one the guy wrote after disconnecting his life from the Internet for a year.<\/a>\u00a0I especially liked Megan’s response<\/a> to it — mostly because it was less of a response and more of a reflection.<\/p>\n

Then today this thing<\/a> from Annie Murphy Paul came. Like the No Internet For a A Year post, it is long. It’s also, however, heavily referenced with research. And, well, I find that kindasorta fascinating. I mean, much of it I knew already, but it’s like … a WHAM BAM POW smack-daddy overload of research, all pointing to the same thing. Namely: learn to control the distractions! Delayed gratification = better learning and success in EVARYTHANG.<\/p>\n

I really<\/strong> want to write something much more academic, or even professional-blog-worthy<\/a>, to synthesize my thoughts on these two seemingly unrelated posts.<\/p>\n

But I’m tired.<\/p>\n

(and it’s only Monday! \ud83d\ude2e )<\/p>\n

I might eventually get to writing more about it, but in case I don’t, I’ll just sum it up with a few thoughts here:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Learning is different than “spending time online.”<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Learning can include spending time online.<\/li>\n
  3. Learning requires focus: LOTS of focus.<\/li>\n
  4. Time online that isn’t<\/strong> learning is still good. It’s just different.<\/li>\n
  5. There are different types of learning.<\/li>\n
  6. Relationships — both via screen and f2f — are good. I used to always value one over the other but I don’t do that as often anymore.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s about all my brain can handle after the busy day I’ve had.<\/p>\n

    Today’s truth: I value the time I spend online for learning and otherwise. I think it’s important to learn with online resources and contexts. I think it’s equally important to learn to self-manage all resources and contexts so that focus<\/span> can facilitate both learning and relationship development.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    And that is all.<\/p>\n

    …. for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
