"> Are there reinforcing processes in human beings that are healthy?

How about Learning? In my case at least, learning generally
reinforces the desire to learn more which leads to learning
more and on and on...."
I seem to have a natural balancing process in my own learning strategy --
after a certain amount of exposure to new ideas, I need to integrate and
practice before I'm ready for more new information and frameworks, and
vice versa.
In fact, since I've joined this list, I've come to several points of
saturation and tuned out temporarily to let ideas percolate and find a way
into my work. Then I can come back for more.
Do other members of this list experience this balancing pattern? And to
tie it back to organizational learning, do you experience your
organizations as having reinforcing and/or balancing loops that affect the
ability of the organization to take in new information and ideas?
