Somehow this Hammertime Club post showed up when I logged in the forum.
Too bad that it’s finished because joining it sounds interesting.
When I clicked the link to the Less Wrong article I noticed that the OP referred to Richard Feynman’s dozen problems, which when googling led me to (12 Favorite Problems: How to Spark Genius With the Power of Open Questions) which then led me to the original article:
Use the Feynman Method
Richard Feynman was fond of giving the following advice on how to be a genius. You have
to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say, “How did he do it? He must be a genius!”
I wrote down my dozen problems today on an Apple Notes note.
Has anyone else done the Feynman Method?
I’m going to delve deeper into how Tiago Forte uses his BASB to solve one’s dozen problems.
