read, write, yap

read. people don't read. smart people read. you should read more.

write. this is where you cement your understanding. you create and learn simultaneously. writing can take several forms including; blog posts, code, podcasts, presentations, important conversations and thoughtful xeets.

yap. in between reading and writing, yap. after writing yap. after you do the dishes, yap. just make it a habit, but don't waste time scrolling.
