Ask HN: can anyone come up with some old English language adage (or in any other language) which says the same thing as this paper?
For instance:
"Abstract: the timeliness of mindful preemptive action is positively correlated with mitigated needs for subsequent compensating or reparative measures."
--> "A stitch in time saves nine."
--> "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Not being able to "see the forest for the trees" is in the right ball park. Cliche Zen ideas come into play here also: opening your mind to the broader experience, rather than straining at focusing.
"Turn on, tune in, drop out, man! ... and, like, learn more!" :)
not an adage, but here's an analogy (correct me if i'm wrong):
if you worry too much about the mechanics of shooting free throws, you're not likely to learn to shoot them as well/quickly as someone who just shoots over and over (and thereby letting their subconscious make the adjustments for them).
