Mastery requires continual evolution of the learning process. /// Take your learning practice seriously. /// Select digital tools designed to enable learning.

Purpose = clarity /// Purpose provides goals and direction - set your own. /// Work from purpose to design your operating system.

End of year reflection ///Our mission: is to help technical practitioners achieve and maintain mastery of a long-lasting knowledge work practice. One that is highly adaptive and which consistently harnesses the evolving capability of digital tools.

Multi-disciplinary, first principles knowledge is highest quality. /// Structure knowledge and mental models from multiple disciplines into a latticework. /// Building this competency in digital tools accelerates our core technical domain.

Build specific knowledge → Design for leverage → Add digital tools → Apply. /// Leverage comes with responsibility.

Take an intentional approach to managing knowledge. /// Choose healthy boundaries for your practice. /// Develop a system and choose tools purposefully.

Improving self-discipline improves focus. One builds the other. /// Set small healthy self-discipline goals for the long term. /// Are you a competent, disciplined human-in-the-(AI)loop?

"Focus is the modern superpower."

"If you do work that compounds, you'll get exponential growth. Most people who do this do it unconsciously, but it's worth stopping to think about. Learning, for example, is an instance of this phenomenon: the more you learn about something, the easier it is to learn more."

“High Quality Work Produced = Time Spent x Intensity of Focus”
