RE: Attention spent avoiding thinking
Maybe I didn't explain well. It is hard to consider when I have already tuned out if you know what I mean.
I agree with you but this happens before I have a chance to do anything with it. Essentially, unless I stop the process from happening, nothing goes in.
You are right, it's very hard to understand. Each of us is used to their own inner workings and I guess I can't fully comprehend what you are explaining since it seems that my brain works in a pretty dissimilar way in that regard. So I think you are explaining it pretty clearly, I guess I wasn't fully getting it because of my own presumptions.
So.... maybe I am crazy :D
I actually do what you suggested but I can only do it if I have first tuned in which means catching the bad habit before it has a chance to take hold.
For my memory to hold anything, I have to understand it. I had a lot if trouble in maths because it was taught by memory rather than application and at the time, I didn't have the gumption to learn without the teachers.
You're surely not crazy, it's just that we're all a bit different and have our own ways of processing information and the world in general. It's all fine as long as you manage to find something that works for you! :)
