The learning library / understanding before action

GIVE EVERY
INPUT
A PURPOSE.

A chart gives you information. A framework helps you decide what matters. Start with one question, understand the mechanism and practise explaining your decision.

SIX PLACES
TO BEGIN.

Each guide connects a definition with an example, its limitations and a repeatable exercise. Read for understanding before looking for a signal.

Make the reading useful

ONE QUESTION.
ONE EXERCISE.

Choose a concept you can describe in a sentence. Write an observation that would support your interpretation and another that would contradict it. Only then look at the next part of the example.

Keep the unclear cases. A process that explains only attractive screenshots is difficult to evaluate. Review what you knew and what you did, as well as the final outcome.
