Kindle Highlights (My Workaround)

Kindle Highlights (My Workaround)

If you don’t know, you have got to start using Kindle Highlights.

First Thing:

Kindle Highlights is my workaround to the Kindle Copy Error that I have complained about before.

Because of these copy limits I no longer copy and paste passages out of Kindle as I have described before.

I use Kindle Highlights instead.

As I read a book, I simply highlight passages that standout.

Later, I can then access every highlighted passage by logging into my Amazon account at: read.amazon.com/notebook

Simple? Simple.

Vuja De

Vuja De

Like most, I have heard of Déjà vu, but I had to Google Vuja de.

And, of course this is correct: Vuja de is when we see something familiar and it like it is new.

I had no idea.

The more I learn, the more I realize the scope of my ignorance.

But that’s the point, right?

I want tested insight into new problems. And I want fresh insight into old problems too.

More, please.

The starting point is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems.
