Building a Personal Learning System

Start with a feedback loop

A useful learning system connects reading, reflection, and practice. The idea becomes durable when each stage feeds the next:

The smallest useful loop can be written as $L = R + N + P$, where each variable represents reading, note-making, and practice.

Small notes compound

Capture one idea at a time. The atomic notes guide explains how small notes remain easy to connect and revise.

const nextReview = notes.filter((note) => note.needsPractice);

Connect learning to action

Turn every concept into a question, example, or exercise. Continue with the policy overview lesson.
