INSIGHT

Learning Is A Five-Step Puzzle

  • Learning is a five-step jigsaw: Goal, Research, Priming, Comprehension, Implementation.
  • Treat the process as assembling pieces toward a clear final picture to avoid wasted effort.
ADVICE

Start With A Clear End Result

  • Define a concrete end result before you start learning.
  • Specify the final deliverable so you can pick resources and actions that directly support it.
INSIGHT

Most Learning Resources Are Incomplete

  • Resources rarely arrive perfectly packaged; you often must assemble them yourself.
  • Investing time to find correct resources prevents gaps that derail implementation later.
