Jot down a question you want to explore this week
Por qué este hábito ayuda
Berkeley researchers found that writing down questions activates the brain's reticular activating system, priming you to notice relevant information - a phenomenon called 'selective attention'.
The quality of your questions directly shapes neuroplasticity; curious questioning builds more synaptic connections than passive learning.

Resumen rápido
Einstein famously said he had no special talents, just passionate curiosity. His notebooks reveal how questions like 'What would it be like to ride a light beam?' preceded his breakthroughs.
Modern 'question thinking' research shows that writing questions (not just goals) increases intrinsic motivation by 34%. The brain loves mysteries to solve.

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
My 'question notebook' started as a class assignment. When I reread it a year later, I noticed most questions circled around communication psychology. This unexpected pattern led me to change majors - now I'm studying to be a speech therapist!
