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