Learning
Prerequisite tree
Learning fails when you skip a prerequisite. Map them before you start.
I want to understand [TARGET CONCEPT]. 1. Draw the prerequisite tree: what concepts do I need first, and what do THOSE need? (max 3 levels deep, as an indented list) 2. Mark each node: ⚡ essential / 👍 helpful / 💤 skippable-for-now 3. Quiz me with one quick question per essential node to find where my actual frontier is 4. Based on my answers, tell me where to start.
