Start where
you are.

The journey
Episode 01
I'm starting over at 28.
Why I'm going back to school, pursuing nursing, and documenting the process.
Watch episode →How I'm learning
The full system →Get a first pass through the material. Understand it well enough to explain it badly.
Close the book. Put the notes away. Explain the concept from memory.
Use it. Work problems, answer questions, apply it somewhere it wasn't taught.
Find exactly what you got wrong, and why. Be specific. "Chemistry" isn't a gap.
Come back to it on a schedule, right before you would have forgotten it.
Simulate the real thing. Timed, closed book, no excuses. Then start the loop again.
