Have you ever taken on a new job and realize how much new information you have to educate yourself on to get up to speed?
Best way i can explain this is with an example.
Let's say I'm brand new to Bitcoin and want to get caught up on the latest and greatest in the Bitcoin development scene.
What are the important BIPs being discussed?
What trends are crucial to be on top of?
Who are the "right voices" to be listening to?
Where do I go to find this information?
How can i ensure reliability with the answers I'm getting??
This example can apply to any topic, but I guess what I'm ultimately wondering is: What are the practical steps behind the process of getting obsessed with something?
In reality, true obsession is natural and unfolds wherever the mind gravitates, but in the case where a person need to insert "obsession" for any reason, how would you write the "playbook" for that person?
I imagine you teachers out there would have some good insight to share!
