![Stop note taking. Start note making: Learn the NoMa Method
Build your own thinking partner with superpowers - Linking Your AI: https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/linking-your-ai?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=videolibrary&utm_content=description
NoMa = Note-making. Note-making gets you leaning forward. It gets you engaging with the world of ideas. It sharpens your thinking, as it gives you intellectual assets. And youre already doing it (mostly).
This is a snippet from the 2nd all-time LYT Conference. Its a slower pace to get you thinking. Hope you enjoy!

![How to Generate Insights with Your MOCs feat. Jeremy Gavin
In this video, youll learn how to turn any topic into valuable insights. This is a presentation by one of our members from the LYT Workshop, Jeremy Gavin.
Jeremy shares his results in focusing on one topic and deepening his insights around it using an MOC. That topic is on Aphorisms. What is an aphorism, and how are they like a horizon, and why do they require brilliance? And why is this presentation so fascinating? (Ill share my opinion why at the end).
Jeremy is also an avid fan of musical theatre and deathly scared of marionette puppets. A self-described internet hermit, Jeremy wanted to instead share a link to his favourite song performance of all time by Australian stage actor Philip Quast.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urxk4mveLCw.
