The basic idea is that we have two ways of learning new information.
We have focused and diffused thinking.
Ping Pong explains how to switch between focused and diffused thinking in order to increase your understanding and get creative.
Wearing tiny shorts and grunting is optional.
Focused learning works by looking at a problem set and trying really hard to get it.
It's about actively using every ounce of mental force to understand the problem that is in front of us.
It's like seeing a brick wall and reasoning:
“It's too hard to just run through and too tall to climb.”
Diffused learning is just letting your mind wander without a plan.
It can deepen your understanding or trigger new creative thoughts.
