that's a good point and i think a huge part of this, now that i think about it. for a while i would try to collect internet links and "group" them together, so i.e. i could read all the links about, idk, reverse-engineering in one go on a Saturday afternoon, and i noticed that was a more pleasant experience—it felt like i was learning a few perspectives on one coherent thing, rather than lots of random shit. and eventually i noticed i preferred cracking open a book about reverse engineering, to random links about it, and now i try really hard to crack open a book before anything else, even though the activation energy's greater, alas.
