So what do I mean by this

Basically

Read a lot. Learn a lot by reading a lot

Knowing where to read a lot, have variety ykwim

Be smart but the chaotic academic way

In this age, it is very important to educate yourself if the world won’t do it for you

WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION

First, how do you find places to lurk in and gain info from (for books):

Where to find recommendations : literally anywhere but my favorite place is pinterest

Read for free: onlinereadfreenovel.com , novel80.com, 

Download for free : OceanofPDF , Planet eBook, d-pdf.com, pdfdrive.com, even pinterest (I once found the entire cruel prince series and the heroes of olympus series on it)

Yeah a library is a place of books, but most importantly, it's a hub of knowledge . Some places where you can learn a lot of include: articles, channels, interviews, websites, audiobooks, aka the media

HOW TO LEARN AND INTERACT WITH THIS INFO

How to force yourself to learn it in the first place: Have the page up and let it sit there on an interesting page (or article or point of the movie) so that when you remember and glance at it you’ll want to read or know more and keep going.

The best way to know a lot about something is to deep dive into it and the best way to do that is to rabbit hole. For medias and books, you can start by researching:

Their sources

Their author/directors/creator’s : other works, inspirations or any considered successor, life (specific experiences that might have shaped who they are)

How to interact with the knowledge you’ve just learn

Discuss it, debate it, teach it, sing it, write it, just share it

HOW TO ORGANIZE ALL THESE BOOKS (what I do)

Make folders on File Explorer or alternatives (for e.g. i have a folder of all my books and another for my movies with subfolders)

Make lists of books you have and books on the tbr list

Sites/apps for notetaking : Notion, Obsidian, Arena, Milanote

Since we're going back to the Citrus System, here's a guide for those who don't know and to refresh those who do.
