Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)
It takes a balance of diet, exercise, and sleep to keep one’s body in shape.
Similarly, it takes a balance of reading, writing, and listening (sorry, arithmetic!) to keep one’s mind in shape.
Last week, Barry Ritholtz re-tweeted a photo-op with a fan from India, Vishal Khandelwal:

It’s true that we need to funnel information into buckets of either short-term (ephemeral) or long-term (enduring) storage.
