Is there a way to get ahead in learning without being constantly knocked down by cognitive overdoses? Damn it! I haven’t been using this word for almost a year. It doesn’t mean that I haven’t experienced cognitive overdoses during that period, but somehow I managed to avoid paying attention to them. My mind has grown to an unprecedented scale. It needs to be trained all my waking time just to preserve its current level of development. Learning languages makes me excited. I’m ready to spend weeks reading Shakespeare, building up a nuanced vocabulary, transforming my grammar, improving pronunciation and working on style. However, after a few weeks of intense learning, when I usually reach perfect self-control and discipline, there is damn noise, sleepless nights and all sorts of doubts stemming from it. Do I consume more than my “omnipotent” mind can digest? Should I limit myself to a certain amount of information? Oh… That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. It’s like when I was a kid, I knew that playing video games for an entire day or smoking a pack of cigarettes wasn’t healthy. I tried to restrict myself— at least I thought about playing less and quitting smoking—but the result was exactly the opposite of my “rational” intention. It only fed the desire. Although I was playing all day long, I thought about it all the time. My main activity was supposed to be studying at school, but I didn’t think about it at all. Now I see that it’s not healthy to study languages for 16 hours a day, thinking unstoppably all the time, but it’s so fascinating, so bloody interesting, that I can either do it all the time or must forbid myself to do it once and for all. Is there any other way? Relationships? Work? Martial Arts? Hmm… Martial Arts? Martial Arts!
