Learning how to learn requires experimentation, reflection, and then adjusting based on internal feedback
One writer on learning puts it well: we need to “experiment, reflect, adjust” in order to learn how we learn. This feels true to what I’ve started exploring in the past month or so. Coming to understand that I take a more slow approach than I have ever in my life.

It’s more data for this brain of mine.
