A Reflection on Unstructured Learning

I think the theme of this passage is one of patience.

Not  every thing is going to come to you right when you need it to.  You have to give things time. Also, don't expect the answer or result to come to you exactly the way you thought it would. Be open to new ideas and new experiences. (The character could have used that advice a bit more, and I could too.)

In an episode of "The Big Bang Theory" (Yeah, I love that show. So what?) Sheldon was trying to come up with an answer to a problem he was having. He knew that concentrating too hard on the one idea for too long would get him nowhere. So, he took up other tasks so that the idea would hopefully work itself out in the back of his mind, and it worked!

That's just what popped into my mind when I read that passage. Don't overwhelm yourself with one task that takes up all your time and stresses you out. Tackle it in small, manageable, time-efficient, parts.
