Here are some of the resources that have answered my questions. I’ll try to update this post every now and then and put a timestamp for when I have most recently updated it. Comment below if you want me to annotate these lists with what I found to be valuable.</p><h2>General</h2><p>I highly recommend people spend time <a href="https://lsc.cornell.edu/how-to-study/">learning how to learn effectively</a><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> . This skill transfers into practically all domains.</p><h3>Books</h3><ul><li><p>Deep Work - Cal Newport</p></li><li><p>The 4 Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss</p></li><li><p>The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life - Mark Manson</p></li><li><p>Lying - Sam Harris</p></li><li><p>Public Speaking for Success - Dale Carnegie</p></li><li><p>On Writing Well - William Zinsser</p></li></ul><h3>Tools</h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://chatgpt.com/">ChatGPT</a>/<a href="https://claude.ai/">Claude</a> - Working alongside these models is the future. Find ways to integrate this into your current workflows, there are tons of tutorials online.</p></li><li><p><a href="https://obsidian.md/">Obsidian</a> - My preferred notetaking app. You can connect it with Zotero or other citation managers so that you can refer to papers/books/articles in your notes.</p></li></ul><h2>Startups</h2><p>Most books or podcasts I’ve listened too haven’t been useful in practice (in my minimal startup experience). Most things are best learned by doing, but here were a few resources I found helpful. </p><h3>Books</h3><ul><li><p>The Lean Startup - Eric Ries</p></li><li><p>The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing - Al Ries, Jack Trout</p></li><li><p>The Founder’s Dilemmas - Noam Wasserman</p></li></ul><h3>Podcasts (mostly helped me generate ideas)</h3><ul><li><p>The Tim Ferris Show - Tim Ferris</p></li><li><p>The Knowledge Project - Shane Parrish</p></li></ul><h3>Tools</h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/startups/credits?lang=en-US">AWS Startup Credit</a></p></li></ul><h2>Research</h2><p>Most of these resources are oriented towards PhD students, however their contents are still applicable to undergrads.</p><h3>General </h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://karpathy.github.io/2016/09/07/phd/">A Survival Guide to a PhD</a> - Andrej Karpathy blog</p></li><li><p><a href="https://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/">Career advice</a> - Terrance Tao blog</p></li><li><p><a href="https://kbroman.org/BMI883/schedule.html">BMI 883/884 - Professional Skills</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2024.03.012">Problem choice and decision trees in science and engineering</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009330">Ten simple rules for choosing a PhD supervisor</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sreedath-panat_toxic-advisors-in-phd-nothing-affects-you-activity-7211571382223060992-19l1/">More detail on picking PhD advisors</a></p></li><li><p>How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method - George Pólya</p></li></ul><h3>Writing </h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://cs.stanford.edu/people/widom/paper-writing.html">Tips for Writing Technical Papers</a> </p></li><li><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005619">Ten simple rules for structuring papers</a></p></li><li><p>Writing Science: How to Write Papers That Get Cited and Proposals that Get Funded - Joshua Schimel</p></li><li><p>The Scientist’s Guide to Writing - Stephen B Heard</p></li></ul><h3>Funding/Fellowships</h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.nsfgrfp.org/">NSF GRFP</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.hertzfoundation.org/">Hertz Fellowship</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/research-experiences-undergraduates-reu">NSF REU</a> (Undergrad)</p></li></ul><h3>Tools </h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.zotero.org/">Zotero</a></p></li></ul><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>I have not tried all of these, however this would be a good place to start.

This is my first attempt, wish me luck.</p><p>I aim to make myself extremely valuable in a field. You may want to do the same. This will require the acquisition of both skills and knowledge. At that point, I imagine our greatest impact will come from carefully choosing which problems to solve and how to solve them. </p><p>But what if we valued our time right now the way we want it to be valued later? Then, I think we would give ourselves time to think hard about things, because that's how we'd generate value in the first place. Well, why wait?</p><p>My proposition is simple: give yourself downtime to think about anything. But importantly, avoid music, audiobooks, podcasts, or any other consumption of content during this time. Bask in the silence.</p><p>This “basking” led me to briefly explore measure theory, a branch of mathematics that formalizes the concept of measurement. Though my exploration was short-lived (I realized I was overcomplicating my study of probability ;)), it exemplifies how this practice has made me more receptive to pursuing random thoughts. </p><p>And just maybe, your next random thought will give you the idea to kickstart your career.</p><p>Give yourself two weeks. Start with 10-20 minutes, 2-3 times a week. You might be surprised by the ideas you generate.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming soon]]></title><description><![CDATA[This is Left As An Exercise To The Reader.]]></description><link>https://harmonbhasin.substack.com/p/coming-soon</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://harmonbhasin.substack.com/p/coming-soon</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harmon Bhasin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 19 Apr 2024 22:41:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ff80f86-ca6c-42cf-ad1d-be77d64141c0_144x144.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is Left As An Exercise To The Reader.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{"url":"https://harmonbhasin.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe now","action":null,"class":null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://harmonbhasin.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
