209. It works better when you don't be greedy. Since the brain can only process 'three' things at a time, don't rush and do them 'three' at a time.

Since I even use it as my account name,
I love outputting.

But I also love inputting.

My favorite kind of input is reading, but...

Because I want to do both output and input,
I struggle with not having enough time,
and my brain feels like it's going to explode.

So,
in order to create time for outputting,
I wanted to make my inputting more efficient,
so I picked up 'The Input Encyclopedia'.

It is enough to gain 'three insights'

Whether it's 'The Output Encyclopedia' or 'The Input Encyclopedia',
psychiatrist Shion Kabasawa said exactly that.

But, having gone to the trouble of reading a book with hundreds of pages...,
I couldn't shake the feeling that it would be a waste to only learn 'three' things.

This is the basis for why it is enough to gain 'three' insights at a time.


If you try to process six pieces of information at once—A, B, C, D, E, and F—
the brain crashes, its functions stop, and your learning becomes zero, he says.

To ensure my learning doesn't become zero,
I prioritize what I want to learn
and try to select and discard information,
but my brain often ended up in a crashed state.

Therefore, I felt that the fact that 'three' insights is the limit for what can be gained at once
is a fact I can accept from personal experience.

That fact was also written in 'The Output Encyclopedia' I read before,
and I was applying it to my daily output.

But for some reason, regarding input,
I thought, 'I should be able to go beyond three!',
and 'It's sad that only three is the limit!'

However, by reading 'The Input Encyclopedia' this time,

Knowing this gave me a sense of hope.


First, process A + B + C.
Once that is finished, process the three items D, E, and F.
Next, process the three items G, H, and I.
If you repeat this, you can continue with 3 + 3 + 3 + 3...
and gain infinite knowledge.

I thought, 'That makes sense.'

Don't be greedy; limit what you learn 'at one time' to 'three things'.
There is no need to rush; that way, things will go better.

Summarized in a diagram, it looks like this.

There are only three trays in the brain.
And in reality, the only thing you can do at this very moment is 'one' thing.

Therefore, I intend to limit what I keep in my head to 'three things'
and tackle them 'one' at a time.
