I mean in general, keep a careful eye on your background novelty level. I know I certainly have to. I am not quite the pure natural mapper they describe; I am susceptible to being bored into a stupor.
I don't believe I'm a natural "mapper" at all. Though I don't know if that's just because I've already been bored into a stupor...
Kickstarting the brane can be difficult. Particularly when depressed already. The trouble with trying to pull oneself together is a lack of bootstraps to grab onto.
Exactly. I don' t have the energy or concentration to give myself the "background novelty" that you're suggesting. I'm finding it hard to read new stuff, even trashy novels; I'm finding it impossible to learn new and interesting things. Hell, I'm finding it hard to get out of bed on the days when I'm not in work. And in half a week I'll be out of a full-time job. :-(
