We tend to believe that if we have more time, we can finally accomplish that goal or dream we've been putting off. Michelle and Sammie noticed that when they do have free time, they still don't apply themselves diligently to their biggest dreams. In Scott Young's book, Ultralearning, the first step he outlines is to build a curriculum for your Ultralearning project. Michelle and Sammie use this idea for their "retirement" curriculum and each make a plan for building a skill. Michelle plans to tackle writing and Sammie plans to focus on being present and meditating.
