Want to quickly advance in Web3, Web2, or the tech industry? The most effective method is often overlooked: documenting your learning process.

Whether through public sharing or private notes, this habit allows you to continuously learn, reflect, and correct. Many pitfalls can be avoided through systematic recording of your experiences. This is especially true in the fast-paced Web3 space—market trends, project updates, and technological iterations are all changing rapidly. Without recording your understanding process, it's easy to fall into the trap of information fragmentation.

Carefully define your cognitive boundaries and turn vague ideas into clear words or notes. This process itself is deep thinking. Every time you revisit past records, you can discover previously overlooked details. This iterative process is key to maintaining competitiveness in the Web3 ecosystem.

To be honest, I didn't keep records at first either, but I learned after falling into a few traps...

You're absolutely right. I'm currently being beaten to a pulp for being too lazy to keep records, and I feel like I haven't brushed up on news in ages—it's all just a blur in my mind. Writing notes seems simple, but in reality, it's about forcing yourself to truly understand; otherwise, you just can't write them out. I have deep personal experience with this. Recording = compound interest. This equation is especially sweet in the crypto world. I look at on-chain data every day but without any systematic整理, I’ll be cut off sooner or later. I am a living example of that. Cognitive iteration really hit my pain point. When I pull out my old notes, I feel so embarrassed. I just want to know how many people are actually坚持记录学习过程, or if it's all just talk. My notebook is gathering dust; just reading articles won't make me a big player. How many dreamers does this wake up? Unfortunately, listening is useless. Recording is so important, especially in this era of information explosion. Without systematic整理, it's just a waste of time.

To be honest, I'm most afraid of writing a bunch of notes only to turn into "recording addiction," spending all day organizing notes and having no time to do anything else. I've been taking notes for a long time, and it has indeed reduced the number of pitfalls. This sounds right, but most people forget what they've written; the key is to review regularly, otherwise it's just self-comfort. Who can keep up with the speed of Web3? My notes are always in a state of never being fully updated haha. Actually, the hardest part isn't taking notes, but sticking to it. Most people give up after three days of enthusiasm. People who take notes tend to live more clearly, really. Only when repeatedly reviewing their old notes do they realize how inexperienced they were at the beginning, and they can see their progress very clearly.

That's right, people who don't keep records are definitely confused now.

That's right, I'm now sticking to this habit, and it really helps me realize how absurd my previous understandings were. --- Just recording isn't enough; the key is to review and revisit regularly, or else the notes become useless paper. --- The speed of Web3 is just ridiculously fast. If you don't write it down, you'll forget what you were thinking by next week. --- Sometimes, during the process of writing, I suddenly realize my logical gaps, which is more effective than any discussion. --- Deep thinking sounds lofty, but it's really just forcing yourself to clarify vague ideas. --- I see many people repeatedly making the same mistakes, probably because they haven't built their own knowledge base. --- The phrase "repeated iteration" essentially means not letting yourself fall into fixed thinking, which is especially important in the crypto circle.
