# Learning

Continuous learning through reading, courses, conversations, and writing. The input side that feeds everything else.

## Scope

- **Reading** — books, articles, newsletters, research papers. Target of 20+ books per year
- **Writing as learning** — [[the-compound-effect-in-knowledge-work]] captures why writing notes and evergreen pieces accelerates understanding
- **Conversations** — podcast guests, conference hallway chats, 1:1s with smart people
- **Courses & talks** — occasional online courses, preparing conference talks as a forcing function

## Philosophy

Learning is not about consuming more — it's about extracting and connecting ideas. The [[procedure-evergreen-note-writing]] process exists to turn raw input into lasting, reusable knowledge. Every book note in the vault should eventually produce at least one evergreen idea.

See [[reading-more-by-reading-better]] for the approach to reading.

## Key measures

- [[measure-books-per-month]] — reading volume
- [[measure-evergreen-notes-created]] — output quality indicator
