This is what's happening with me right now. Last week I took a test and had no idea what to do, until I remembered a key step in a process that was needed to find solutions. I remembered this step with five minutes left. That was a bit more than frustrating. I want to care, but I simply don't. Thanks for sharing your perspective, I'll think on it today. Technique vs. work is something I hadn't considered.something solely relegated to the world of Buddhists, people who meditate, and musicians.
Funny you say that. I passively read Buddhist texts to get my dose of philosophy, and I'm a musician.I used to go in math class, learn a concept, get it, walk out and forget it. I would forget what concepts I was supposed to apply on a test because, bam, right out of my head. I didn't care about my math homework. I rushed it whenever I could. I did it in homeroom or at lunch.
