There are lots of “Locking myself in a room until I master xyz” type of experiments in the world, whether they’re videos, biographies, or students cramming before a final exam. That said, they’re all quite simple and quick, with the key exception of biographies; they often involve someone dedicating their entire life (or at least the latter part of their life) to the mastery of a single thing.
I want to re-create that, in slightly more modern manner. Similar to how, instead of setting goals for change every New Year’s, I try to set goals monthly if not weekly. I want every location I live in to represent a new dedication.
First, Lincoln. This is the beginning of my idea, hence I’m going to experiment with three main dedications: 数学の独学, Chess, and Japanese. Another way of looking at it is that I am simply catching up on the previous nineteen years of my life.
However, I also want to ensure I one day make a good father, hence I need to live long and healthy, make some money, and be able to teach my child(ren) in the future; in other words, I need to (right now, at least) do Calisthenics and some Tutoring.
Since naming things is cool, my dedications for Lincoln come under the Koi project.
Every three months, I have some milestone goals (20th Birthday) to achieve, documented in the following updates:
Beyond this, somewhat related, I have my reading list, as well as a page to help me in case I’m struggling a bit more than usual and need to some more structure in order to refresh.
