- planning is like an imaginative exercise - helps turn life into a game - so we plan out these elaborate curriculums and then realize we don’t have time for all that lol - and also maybe we don’t *really* care… - we blame ourselves for being lazy or unmotivated - and we’re like, “wtf, i thought i liked learning.” - *remove all the expectations on yourself so learning feels fun and creative* - thinking on anticurriculum: - what do i want to learn - why do i want to learn this? - basically, do you want to be an expert in this? - or do you just want *passable* or *conversational* knowledge? - how much time do i have to learn? - where is the first immediately-accessible place i can start? - is there a book i already know i want to read? a video i want to watch? - what’s already in your mind? - we’re not going to google and reddit! no window shopping!!! - anti-curriculum notebook: - topic map! draw a circle and write your topic… - learning system with no path <3 let curiosity and intuition guide you. - RECORD of what we’re learning, NOT a plan. - write your “immediately accessible” thing to your topic map. - read / watch ur thing and take notes on the next pages. - only requirement is to at least journal about the thing you consumed, don’t have to take active notes. - use those questions or a-ha moments to figure out the next accessible thing for you to read, watch, etc. - add new thing to topic map :)
