🍎 PD – Why “Challenging” May Not Be The Right Goal
🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Consider the problems that arise when we begin with "challenging" as our goal.
Follow up question: so, how do you make something interesting?
The best way is to think back to when you were first learning the topic (beware the curse of knowledge here!) and ask yourself: what was surprising about this? Humans are instinctually drawn to surprising things that don't seem to fit our patterns. "Surprising" goes hand-in-hand with "interesting."
This article about curiosity may be worth reading as well.
