01. THREE POSITIVES.
1. Got some rest and a good night's sleep.
2. Completed a lot of tests.
3. Found a balance between work and rest.
02. REFLECTIONS AND DISCOVERIES.
You turn on the rotary hammer and press it against the wall; it goes easily at first, but gets harder as you go deeper. Apparently, the debris isn't being cleared out fast enough. At that moment, instead of just pushing harder, you pull the bit back, then push forward again, and the process smooths out.
Or take another example: forgetting a word. It’s right there on the tip of your tongue, but you can’t recall it; you strain and squint, yet nothing happens. But if you let yourself relax and stop thinking about it, the word suddenly pops into your mind.
It’s that classic dilemma: knowing when to push yourself and when to let up.
But why is that? How universal is this approach?
For instance, if you’re filling a bucket from a tap, it wouldn't occur to us to fill it halfway, let the tap "rest," and then fill the second half, would it?
It’s a different story with muscles or brain function.
There’s a supply of fuel or material, and there’s the work itself, which generates waste that needs to be cleared away. If any part of that process can't keep up with demand, you have to slow down.
And that’s without even considering breakdowns or repairs to the mechanism itself—though, of course, a tap can rust and start leaking, too.
Redundancy or parallel processing helps eliminate single points of failure. If one unit gets tired or breaks down, another starts or takes over—a community is more resilient than an individual, provided there isn't total dependence on a single person. The most critical systems are duplicated—even within the human body.
Yet, for some reason, there is no second heart or second brain.
