Yes, writing has helped me learn better as well!

Indeed it is and that is the beauty of it! Unfortunately, so many of us stop seriously learning after we graduate from school....

Obsidian has been a great tool for me to learn and practice markdown.
Application is paramount for sure! I could read up and learn about something on optimizing health or sports performance, but if I never apply it to my own life what was the point of learning about it?
Monetization via sharing what I have learned and experienced has been a new experience, but it does add motivation to my learning process, as I now want to make sure I'm learning at a deeper level and applying everything I learned and taking meaningful experiences from what I learned in order to best share my newfound knowledge and to add value to the world in some way.
ありがとう、先生！
The unschooled approach I like better as well, there is more freedom to it, but sometimes I struggle to make sure I stay disciplined (contrary to your SN name lol) on the topic of interest and jump around instead of focusing on the initial topic. Which isn't a terrible thing, but for me it can lead to being learned only on the surface level of a topic instead of comprehending the depth.
Ahh yes! I remember vividly especially inside! I also remember taking a nap at the hostel I was staying at, and then waking up to my two friends completely drunk after they had finished a bottle of Captain Morgan between the two of them in less than an hour. Long story short, one of them ended up throwing up the all you can eat paella we had and the other tried to help me get the extremely wasted one onto his bed, but we ended up failing because he was also too drunk to help me, so we let him 'sleep' on the floor. And this was all on our first day there haha...

On that note though, I think there's a difference especially in the modern world between doing nothing in what you are referring to as being 'productive' or valuable, and doing nothing in that you are literally wasting your time by say spending time on scrolling endlessly through social media. Both could be labeled as doing nothing, where one is mindful and valuable 'nothing' in the sense that one may enter a state of daydreaming or meditation or even rest and recovery. Whereas the other you really didn't get anything productive out of it, you just wasted time and distracted yourself from facing life as it should be experienced, which like you brought up should have moments of actually doing nothing, sitting there with your thoughts or just 'stand and stare'.
Very interesting! From a more Western perspective I'm assuming the holding of static postures is a similar practice to isometrics. Lately, I've been implementing more isometrics into my training routine for strength, but also to keep my tendons in shape. The Horse Stance is another form of static posture that has it's roots from the East I believe.
Can't wait to read more of your posts!
Excellent, will add to my books to read list!
"The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg is another solid book, although it's been a while since I read it so will have to go back and reread myself.
Now this is what a true community is about! I've been taking hot baths as another accessible way to promote hormesis, if you want to give something else a try, always start slow though.
I have not lol
Hmm that's an interesting one actually! I mean I certainly feel good after brushing my teeth but never thought of it as a guilty pleasure.
