Before: define specific goal (what will you DO?), decide what project you’ll build, block calendar sessions. During: pause-and-recall every 10–15 minutes (close video, write what you remember, then continue), take implementation notes not transcripts, do every exercise, apply within 24 hours. After each module: write a one-paragraph summary in your own words, add key items to Anki. After completing: finish your project, document it, share publicly. The course is not the endpoint. The project is.
