Learning

Active Reading

Active Reading

Read with a pencil in hand - mark, question, and extract before highlights die in the book.

Signature Move

Signature Move

The one practiced answer you reach for when the moment speeds up - on court and in a note.

Honest Self-Awareness

Honest Self-Awareness

Name strengths, gaps, and limits plainly so change targets stay realistic.

Practice Small Experiments

Practice Small Experiments

Repeat the move, run tiny tests, learn fast - durable change beats one big rollout.

Convert Pain Into Learning

Convert Pain Into Learning

Convert pain into learning means failure must produce correction, not stewing without change.

Deliberate Practice

Deliberate Practice

Train the weak slice on purpose - feedback, correction, repeat - not the part already nailed.

Failure as Feedback

Failure as Feedback

A miss is signal about process or skill, not proof of being the wrong kind of person.

Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset

Growth mindset treats ability as trainable - mistakes are data, not proof of a fixed label.

Heed Every Near-Miss

Heed Every Near-Miss

A close call means the system nearly failed, not that we got proof the activity was safe because nobody died.

Layered Reading

Layered Reading

One pass through a book is not absorption - return when more depth is needed.

Flashcards

Flashcards

Learn less, retain longer, apply more - I opt notes into drill cards when recall and use in real life matter, and export to Anki when I want SRS on my phone.

Review

Review

Active recall in the browser - show the prompt, try the answer, rate myself. Success is recall and use when it matters, not review count or streak length. Filter by `card_sets` to drill one group at a time (Capture, Linking, **Eternal Principles**, **Faith**, **Commandments**, **Ethics**, **Prayer**, **Priorities**, **Discipleship**, **Jesus Rhythms**, etc.). Progress saves in this browser only; I use Anki export when I want phone sync. Pairs with [[Flashcards]], [[Random Duo]], and [[Backlinks]].

Compounding

Compounding

Compounding is small gains stacked over time - the curve stays flat until it suddenly bends.

Mental Models

Mental Models

Mental models are thinking shortcuts kept when they survive real decisions.

PKM

PKM

PKM saves, organizes, and reuses what you learn - not a hobby of collecting apps.

Spaced Repetition

Spaced Repetition

Review on a schedule so ideas stick - retention, application, and explanation, not fact pile-up.

The Collector's Fallacy

The Collector's Fallacy

Saving articles felt like progress until every save tied to an express deadline or got cut.

The Feynman Technique

The Feynman Technique

Teach the idea out loud to a blank page - wherever you stumble, you do not understand yet.
