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 — evergreen/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 note/ should eventually produce at least one evergreen idea.

See evergreen/reading-more-by-reading-better for the approach to reading.
