Correlation

• If a study or experiment displays a correlation percentage, is there still correlation without causation?

• How do we know if cause and effect are related? In a classic analysis formalized by the 19th-century philosopher John Stuart Mill, a causal relationship exists if 
• (1) the cause preceded the effect, 
• (2) the cause was related to the effect, and 
• (3) we can find no plausible alternative explanation for the effect other than the cause. 
• These three characteristics mirror what happens in experiments in which 
• (1) we manipulate the presumed cause and observe an outcome afterward; 
• (2) we see whether variation in the cause is related to variation in the effect; and 
• (3) we use various methods during the experiment to reduce the plausibility of other explanations for the effect, along with ancillary methods to explore the plausibility of those we cannot rule out (most of this book is about methods for doing this).

Focus vs effort

http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2012/10/15/focus-not-effort/

Humans could just be a chemical mixture with conditioned responses, while responding to outside stimuli of each of our unique environment (and circumstances). To self-condition, never juggle habits. Always--almost--perfect each in turn.

HabitRPG--stop being in denial about W or other hobbies when the primary focus is courses....................................

How to Focus

scotthyoung.com/blog/2013/04/12/how-to-focus/
Everything below is my picks from the article by Scott Young above.

• Focus matters more than time spent.
• Yet, downtime should not crowd out the time which you want to be about most.
• Focus matters more than raw effort.
• Focus vs effort
• In meditation, usual restlessness ignored not suppressed. As in studying, ignore.

Ways to Read

"One cannot read a book: one can only reread it."--Vladimir Nabokov

• "Speed reading is a collection of methods for increasing reading speed without an unacceptable reduction in comprehension or retention."

• Structure-Proposition-Evaluation (SPE) (Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book) 
• Read
• (1) for the structure or outline; 
• (2) for the logical propositions made, organized into chains of inference; and 
• (3) for evaluation of the merits of arguments/conclusions. Suspend judgment until the work is fully understood.

• Survey-Question-Read-Recite-Review (SQ3R) reading toward being able to teach what is read

Often others who are not, never were, lifelong learners stereotype the few who are into two polar opposites. The nervous bookworm who does too much research. They are afraid or maybe just overcomplicate things by thinking too much about how their time is supposedly best utilized with more background. Then there's the impulsive decision-taker who goes with that gut feeling. They experiment and get out there, but at the cost of making sketchy half-assed leaps.
"But there’s a middle road between paralysis and bravado. That’s the road where you avoid a lot of the fear, self-doubt and uncertainty by making carefully chosen actions to gain more information before moving onto bigger decisions."--Scott Young

• Preempt pet projects with pilot projects.

• Master the general, before the specific (for certain things).
