I think a lot of that has to do with the perception of speed. Sitting down and really thinking through goals, options, and constraints feels slow. But sitting together and talking about stuff feels fast. The outcome doesn't matter for how the process feels.

#roamcult , here's a workflow tip for ya that shows you how working in blocks instead of pages can be super powerful. Pose questions as a singular block, then _embed_ that block every time you work on the question. All previous work visible in blockrefs, click away.

Does anyone have good reading (scientific or not) about "recovery in knowledge work"? In sports there‘s a lot about recovery from exercise - what is that for writing or programming? How do you best recover after 4-6h of coding or writing? @andy_matuschak @s_r_constantin

Ambient impression from teaching @RoamResearch to individuals and teams in large corps: One problem Roam has is that contrary to other software, "dog fooding" (using the thing you make) creates more problems than it solves.
