Yeah. As someone with ADD who over-medicated with Adderall for a period, this is the kind of shit I'd love to do. Organization for organization's sake. Making lists of lists and links to docs with more lists and connections to spreadsheets, etc. Spinning my wheels I'd call it. Reinventing the internet locally. I wonder how many of these people are eating 30+ mg of Adderall a day. It feels fun, but you're not actually doing anything.
Until you're at a reception dinner, seated beside someone you admire and you're instantly pulling up relevant research from your knowledgebase on topics they care about and are working on.
And then you're doing things, because they're flying you to Berlin and contracting you to do them.
how do you think research collaborations start? hint: it's not between complete strangers. so they had to have found the other useful in their own field previously.
