Like any other organism, we consume and then we defecate.
Probably the same analogy applies to out thinking as well
Let's compare defecation with the process of working or producing something. Defection takes a small time and the process is intense.
Why not we start working in that fashion.
An interesting article was written by a writer who only had limited free access to public type writers in the library. He was only allowed to use type writers for 30 minutes at a time and had to wait for his next turn. In between the interval, the writer would read and study in the library and plan and think about what he was going to do next.
Maybe that is the way for us to work as well
A researcher's work process could be divided into two

- Defecation: Coding, Generating Results, Writing Papers
- Consumption: Reading and Learning new things.
(inspired by Terence Tao)
High intensity time should be used up for producing work.
Low intensity work should be spent on reading.
