How I Begin kimberlyhirsh.com
@KimberlyHirsh Love this, especially your reminder to "do interesting things besides work." People underestimate the time it takes to think, and the need for setting direct thinking aside to let stuff simmer in the background.
@KimberlyHirsh I often find new books or papers to read from the references/citation section. The snowball effect works great for me
@KimberlyHirsh "I opened by saying, 'I don’t know how I begin.' Then I proceeded to describe how I begin." This is the essay par excellence and why the essay is the best form of writing!
@pratik Yes! Half the books I read I found in a reference section or a footnote. I have been caught in the giant snowball ever since
