## Original
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This week we have new features in Neovim Core, new plugins and new releases. Some new Neovim features include `:fclose` to close floating windows, support spaces in in directory names, treesitter highlighting in folds and NVIM\_APPNAME supports relative paths.
|
||||
|
||||
We have several new plugins, e.g. you can now grind LeetCode inside Neovim, mini.pick a new fuzzy finder + selector added to the mini.nvim library, and a plugin to start/stop LSP servers upon demand to keep RAM usage low etc..
|
||||
|
||||
Hope you enjoy!
|
||||

|

|
||||
Some LSP servers are terribly inefficient at memory management and can easily take up gigabytes of RAM MBs if left unattended (just like VS Code huh?!). This plugin prevents excessive memory usage by stopping and restarting LSP servers automatically upon gaining or loosing window focus, keeping neovim fast.

FULL STORY

|
||||
|

A study of Japanese university students and recent graduates has revealed that writing on physical paper can lead to more brain activity when remembering the information an hour later. Researchers say that the unique, complex, spatial and tactile information associated with writing by hand on physical paper is likely what leads to improved memory.
|
||||
|
||||
"Actually, paper is more advanced and useful compared to electronic documents because paper contains more one-of-a-kind information for stronger memory recall," said Professor Kuniyoshi L. Sakai, a neuroscientist at the University of Tokyo and corresponding author of the research recently published in _Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience_. The research was completed with collaborators from the NTT Data Institute of Management Consulting.
|
||||
|
||||
Contrary to the popular belief that digital tools increase efficiency, volunteers who used paper completed the note-taking task about 25% faster than those who used digital tablets or smartphones.
|
||||
|
||||
Although volunteers wrote by hand both with pen and paper or stylus and digital tablet, researchers say paper notebooks contain more complex spatial information than digital paper. Physical paper allows for tangible permanence, irregular strokes, and uneven shape, like folded corners. In contrast, digital paper is uniform, has no fixed position when scrolling, and disappears when you close the app.
|
||||
|
||||
"Our take-home message is to use paper notebooks for information we need to learn or memorize," said Sakai.
|
||||
|
||||
In the study, a total of 48 volunteers read a fictional conversation between characters discussing their plans for two months in the near future, including 14 different class times, assignment due dates and personal appointments. Researchers performed pre-test analyses to ensure that the volunteers, all 18-29 years old and recruited from university campuses or NTT offices, were equally sorted into three groups based on memory skills, personal preference for digital or analog methods, gender, age and other aspects.
|
||||
|
||||
Volunteers then recorded the fictional schedule using a paper datebook and pen, a calendar app on a digital tablet and a stylus, or a calendar app on a large smartphone and a touch-screen keyboard. There was no time limit and volunteers were asked to record the fictional events in the same way as they would for their real-life schedules, without spending extra time to memorize the schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
After one hour, including a break and an interference task to distract them from thinking about the calendar, volunteers answered a range of simple (When is the assignment due?) and complex (Which is the earlier due date for the assignments?) multiple choice questions to test their memory of the schedule. While they completed the test, volunteers were inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, which measures blood flow around the brain. This is a technique called functional MRI (fMRI), and increased blood flow observed in a specific region of the brain is a sign of increased neuronal activity in that area.
|
||||
|
||||
Participants who used a paper datebook filled in the calendar within about 11 minutes. Tablet users took 14 minutes and smartphone users took about 16 minutes. Volunteers who used analog methods in their personal life were just as slow at using the devices as volunteers who regularly use digital tools, so researchers are confident that the difference in speed was related to memorization or associated encoding in the brain, not just differences in the habitual use of the tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Volunteers who used analog methods scored better than other volunteers only on simple test questions. However, researchers say that the brain activation data revealed significant differences.
|
||||
|
||||
Volunteers who used paper had more brain activity in areas associated with language, imaginary visualization, and in the hippocampus -- an area known to be important for memory and navigation. Researchers say that the activation of the hippocampus indicates that analog methods contain richer spatial details that can be recalled and navigated in the mind's eye.
|
||||
|
||||
"Digital tools have uniform scrolling up and down and standardized arrangement of text and picture size, like on a webpage. But if you remember a physical textbook printed on paper, you can close your eyes and visualize the photo one-third of the way down on the left-side page, as well as the notes you added in the bottom margin," Sakai explained.
|
||||
|
||||
Researchers say that personalizing digital documents by highlighting, underlining, circling, drawing arrows, handwriting color-coded notes in the margins, adding virtual sticky notes, or other types of unique mark-ups can mimic analog-style spatial enrichment that may enhance memory.
|
||||
|
||||
Although they have no data from younger volunteers, researchers suspect that the difference in brain activation between analog and digital methods is likely to be stronger in younger people.
|
||||
|
||||
"High school students' brains are still developing and are so much more sensitive than adult brains," said Sakai.
|
||||
|
||||
Although the current research focused on learning and memorization, the researchers encourage using paper for creative pursuits as well.
|
||||
|
||||
"It is reasonable that one's creativity will likely become more fruitful if prior knowledge is stored with stronger learning and more precisely retrieved from memory. For art, composing music, or other creative works, I would emphasize the use of paper instead of digital methods," said Sakai.

|
||||
|
||||
I don’t do ruts.
|
||||
|
||||
Not because I’m some brilliant creative, but because I’ve learned how my brain works. Your brain needs fuel, and it needs to be stretched to create those “OMG!” moments on demand.
|
||||
|
||||
Think about it. Great athletes train their bodies for days, weeks, and years to whip them into peak performance. Why, then, wouldn’t a creator do the same with their brain?
|
||||
|
||||
I’ve spent more than two decades (and counting) in the advertising industry, and contrary to popular belief, creativity isn’t inherent. You have to hone it. Over time, I’ve figured out what I need to do to get ideas flowing freely, and a lot of that insight comes from my interest in neuroscience. The more we learn about the workings of our gray matter, the better we can train it, control it, and make it do what we want.
|
||||
|
||||
Here a few things that have worked for me over the years.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Engage with nature**
|
||||
|
||||
It’s been proven that [spending time in nature](https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how%5Fnature%5Fmakes%5Fyou%5Fkinder%5Fhappier%5Fmore%5Fcreative) makes us more creative. Looking at trees and leaves — instead of our electronic devices — reduces our anxiety, lowers our heart rates, soothes us, and allows our brains to make [connections more easily](https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/4/272.abstract?sid=56b97a4c-0e75-46d0-a6ba-41c7f41a089c).
|
||||
|
||||
By spending time in nature, I’m not referring to a trek in the wilderness either. Walking in an urban green space for just 25 minutes can quiet our brains and help us switch into autopilot node. According to the [_British Journal of Sports Medicine_](https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/4/272?sid=56b97a4c-0e75-46d0-a6ba-41c7f41a089c), this state sparks our present awareness and fuels imagination. We are more easily able to connect existing notions, thoughts, and images to form a new, relevant, and useable concept.
|
||||
|
||||
So make disconnecting a priority. Take a walk in your neighborhood park, stroll along the beach, or just add plants to your balcony and spend some time out there. For me, walking my dog — even when my name is not on the family schedule — works. You’ll feel the benefits of moving away from screens almost immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Meditate**
|
||||
|
||||
I know, I know, you’ve heard this a million times: [Meditation](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.01020/full) clears our minds of jumbled thoughts, and gives our brains the space to observe and reflect, improving task concentration and enhancing our ability to make smart decisions.
|
||||
|
||||
But did you know that meditation also puts the entire brain to work?
|
||||
|
||||
You may have heard that creativity uses your right brain while your left brain is triggered during more analytical tasks. Well, [neuroscientists have found](https://www.livescience.com/39671-roots-of-creativity-found-in-brain.html) that creativity actually draws on your _entire_ brain — and meditation can you give you access to it.
|
||||
|
||||
This intentional practice can be as simple as closing your eyes and focusing on your breath. Headspace, the popular meditation app, even has guided meditations for inspiring creativity. The idea is that when we intentionally pause in awareness, [we allow our minds the freedom and space to be still and creative](https://www.headspace.com/meditation/creativity). I practice this between meetings. I find a quiet space, focus on my breathing, and get my brain into an alpha state, or a wakeful state of relaxation. This allows me to disconnect from my initial ideas (after all, the human brain is hardwired to take the path of least resistance) and create new pathways in my mind.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Get moving**
|
||||
|
||||
[Steve Jobs](https://financialpost.com/executive/c-suite/steve-jobs-was-right-about-walking) was a big advocate for walking meetings for a reason. Moving around [has been linked to increased performance](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1332529/pdf/brjsmed00003-0076.pdf) on creative tests. Exercising releases endorphins — chemicals our bodies produce to relieve stress and pain. When we are less stressed, our brains venture into more fruitful territory.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, [a recent article](https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/healthandwellbeing/arid-40251431.html) compared the chemical that our brain releases during physical activity to Miracle-Gro, the water-soluble plant food that helps grow bigger, healthier plants. The good part is moving around is super simple to do, especially when you’re working at home. I often attend meetings while cycling on a stationary bike or plan short walks in between (and this can be done in an office too).
|
||||
|
||||
Try to add workout time on your calendar and make sure not to skip it. If you feel you don’t have time for a dedicated workout, block 20 minutes on your calendar and spend that time doing stretches at your desk.

## **Connect with different kinds of people**
|
||||
|
||||
When consciously seeking inspiration, not enough can be said about diversity. Remember the brain and its predisposition to take the lazy way out? Diversity makes the brain work harder [by challenging stereotypes.](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/nov/01/diversity-good-for-your-brain-mind-multicultural) In addition, researchers at Johns Hopkins University [found](https://muse.jhu.edu/article/536530/summary) that “exposure to diversity experiences might foster the development of more complex forms of thought, including the ability to think critically.”
|
||||
|
||||
I make it a point to surround myself with people who come from different backgrounds than I do because their perspectives are a catalyst for creative thinking. Contrasting opinions sparks new possibilities, and allow us to make connections we hadn’t seen before, leading to better decisions. There was something to be said about Abraham Lincoln filling his cabinet with [a “team of rivals.”](https://bigthink.com/in-their-own-words/you-can-be-your-own-team-of-rivals) Productive discussions, brainstorms, and debates often result in wiser outcomes. At my agency, we’ve set up an “inspiration council,” which brings together our people from various regions, cultures, genders, and more, to initiate these kind of discussions.
|
||||
|
||||
Today, the distributed working model born out of the pandemic has made it even easier to bring people together. I recommend using social media channels like LinkedIn and Instagram to follow and connect with people who have backgrounds and experiences that diverge from your own. Don’t limit yourself by geography when you’re reaching out to someone or expanding your network. We are much better at creative problem-solving when we don’t have the comfort of knowing what to expect, which can happen if we only surround ourselves with people just like us.
|
||||
|
||||
Use these principles of neuroscience to give your brain the exercise that it needs. It will get you out of any rut. Or prevent you from getting into one in the first place.
