For those who`ve been wondering about just how to meta-manage their wetware, relief is at hand. One Ed Boyden outlines the deceptively simple steps that have eluded us thus far…
Synthesize new ideas constantly.
Learn how to learn (rapidly).
Work backward from your goal.
Always have a long-term plan.
Make contingency maps.
Collaborate.
Make your mistakes quickly.
Write up best-practices protocols.
Document everything obsessively.
Keep it simple.
…in reflecting on it, the list is actually not all that unhelpful. An inherent unfortunate quality of all such self-help lists is the imputed rejection of any self-irony.
