We all [[Notes management|took notes]] at some point, especially in school, but we wrote them in a very linear way, divided into isolated subjects. During lessons, topics were taught one after another, in what I call a siloed manner. Each area of [[Knowledge]] we learned was entirely separate from the others. ^school The same principle applies to our work. Even though we have tools like task boards that give the impression of a lot happening at once, the reality for an individual worker is still very linear. Tasks are completed one after another. Sure, there’s room for exceptions, but the ideal workflow is often simplified: focus on one task, finish it, and then move to the next. This approach works because it avoids the cost of [[Context Switch|context switching]]. ^work > Dropping control via linear work > in favour of non-linear (graph) thinking > is a **leap of faith**. ^leap-of-faith
