When you read the distillation of someone’s thoughts (Russell Davies circa 2003-8) it’s easy to miss the gaps.

He seems to be insightful, about everything around him, constantly.

But there are only 8 posts a month, maybe.

That’s an awful lot of reflection time.

Time to sift through the life experience and find the connections

The lesson is this — live in the moment for the inputs, but insight comes in the reflection — you can’t do both at once.
