What is the most important question? It's not what you know, but knowing what to ask that matters most. What is the most important question to sleep on?

Unconscious Intelligence​

Your unconscious mind will turn over the last inputs it was given. Practice a ritual of evolving a question that provides deeper insight into the problem you are striving to resolve.

Curiosity, critical thinking, and accurate question framing are vital to effectively leveraging AI to progress safely.

  1. Once you formulate the question finish work.
  2. Do something to forget about the problem.
  3. Relax then sleep.

Habit:

  1. Wake and journal to access your subconscious mind
  2. Refine the problem statement question
  3. Analyse evolution from the first question to the most recent.

Preparation​

Use curiosity to feed your unconscious with a diverse array of ideas and concepts without stressing about comprehension.

Unhook your rational thought process and trust that your unconscious intelligence will find a way to fill the gaps and connect the dots.

Have a pad ready to loosely catch thoughts without trying to put any sense to them. You can do that at a time scheduled for deep work.

Evolve​

The greatest value is found in analysing the evolution of thought from the initial question until the last in reflecting growth in understanding.

When you start again with fresh eyes you might identify an important connection you previously missed.
