Learning for Fun Framework

# Learning for Fun Framework

- Watch out for a tendency to use the following heavily
  - Se (learning how to draw, exercise, make music, code, dance, whatever)
  - Si (memorization of e.g. foreign language words)
  - These will tend toward 'no amount is good enough' for INTJ.
  - These will also increase your anxiety simply because they are lower down the stack
  - If you have to "recover" from fun learning, your anxiety was too high.
  - Think about Ne: Keep it broad and shallow as you like.
- Fun learning should be
  - Kept within a domain(s) you are really, really good at already
  - Brief with a firm stopping point
  - Less of an effort than normal Learning
- Example Activities:
  - Knowledge surveys: Get the gist of a new topic
    - Youtube videos: Conferences, panels, tutorials, reviews, histories
  - Complete a certificate in something you're already really good at, or have talent for
    - Will require additional learning but it's gap-filling usually
    - Again watch out for too much effort required: Si and Se will sneak in there.
  - Read a bit about a topic and write a brief report
  - Teach a topic to someone else; for example, write an article about it on your blog
  - Do an experiment
    - Go somewhere you haven't gone before
    - Try something you haven't tried before
    - Decide how methodical it will be
    - Try something that models another thing you will have to do later.
      - For example, if you'll be camping for a week, go on an overnight campout.
  - Integrate a new game or a favorite game
    - Take a Flightgear flight to your basecamp for each learning session
- Meta-framework
  - Consider combining several learning activities into a larger activity.
  - Design a mission patch for this activity
  - Pick a theme song for this activity
  - Develop a theme for the activity: e.g. "Too much work makes things boring" and then
    translate that into latin
  - Pin this moment in your history
    - Take a photo of yourself.
    - Document your progress.
    - Track your fun levels. When do they go up? Down?
  - Take the bundle of generated data and put it into e.g. a web page
- Future Ideas
  - Integrate others and their psychological preferences
  - Research others' methods of making learning fun
