Fascinating! Any lessons you picked up along the way in regard to organising and categorising information? I’m a teacher n am keen to know any insights you have gained to help me beef up my students’ working memory n metacognitive skills better.
Love that!
One message I would absolutely pass along, as I explained here, is the importance of pursuing projects you're passionate about without reservation, and being as absorbent as possible to learning how your mind works in the process.
Example:
For me, I've always had a bad memory for specific details, and sometimes this really bugged me. But as I did this project, I learned I have a GREAT "skimming stamina" if you will. IE I literally never get tired of churning through podcasts, articles, books, etc., and while I don't remember every single detail, I'm quite good at getting the jist and seeing where it fits into the puzzle of discovering Bitcoin.
Basically, finding what you're good at vs. not so good at, and finding ways to maximize the way you're wired! Might be a bit of a deep skill depending on the age of students you're teaching, but I'm sure there's plenty of opportunity to plant some seeds there 🌱😊

Thanks for the great message about leveraging your strengths. I think there’s a lot of emphasis in education in regard to beefing up one’s weaknesses in order to meet the next academic grade - but if we don’t spend time honing our strengths, we will never become extraordinary
