To Learn Well, You Must Change (Part 2 - Extended)

"Insights from real conversations and real problems"

To learn well, you must change (Part 2 — extension)

Pre‑study isn’t skimming. Aim for ~80% understanding before class so you can use class time to present, debate, and solve problems — and to ask better questions. That second pass in class plus a third pass at home create spaced‑repetition gains.

Teachers add most value not by speaking more, but by designing tasks and coaching. Students should come prepared, then use live time for interaction.

What do you think?

This article might've started as a scribble on the back of a receipt during a bus ride, a spark of something real after a conversation over a pint of Leffe, or notes from a Sunday afternoon client call that left me buzzing with ideas. However it came to be, I hope it found you at just the right moment.

If it stirred something in you, or if you're just curious about anything from automating the boring bits of your business to capturing your quiet magic in a coffee shop shoot — shall we pencil something into the diary?

I'd love to be on the other end of the conversation.
