“The best thing about learning new subjects or hobbies is that a whole world of intricate procedures, vocabulary, lore, controversy, niche pockets of interest, tricks, and a deepening of your personal experiences and others experiences all opens up to you and you just get to walk around in there.”
One helpful way to refine your objective is to imagine you had to teach someone else about this topic in six months. What would you want to be able to explain to them? This naturally pushes you toward deeper, more connected understanding rather than surface-level familiarity.
Most subjects have natural divisions or progression paths. Your job is to identify these and sequence them in a way that builds knowledge systematically.
