Checklist

  • Anchor the goal (medium term)
  • Dissect the goal: What skills, attributes, and mindsets are needed?
  • Add skills to the Skills database
  • Where am I relative to where I need to be?
  • Set SMARTER performance goals for each process
  • Schedule weekly evaluation cadence
  • Schedule skills audit (every ~2 months)
  • Schedule Priority 0 check-in (every 6 months)

Anchoring & Dissecting the Goal

General direction:
Make techniques produce the intended thinking — not correct-looking activity.

Medium term anchored goal:
By the end of 2026, run deliberate learning sessions using BHS and SIR consistently enough that the techniques feel automatic and produce measurable schema growth.

What mindsets and attributes are needed?

Mindset / AttributeCurrentFinalNotes
Deliberateness5/108/10Choosing constraints over shortcuts
Tolerance for ambiguity5/108/10Sitting with questions before reaching for answers
Reflection habit4/108/10Completing the cycle after every session

What skills are needed?

SkillCurrentFinalNotes
Practice Consistency3/107/10Making technique use recurrent, not occasional
BHS4/107/10Bear Hunter System — aimed, targeted retrieval
SIR5/107/10Spaced Interleaved Retrieval — maintenance and recall

Processes connected to this goal

  • Run one BHS session per week (Aim → Shoot → Skin)
  • Run one SIR block per week
  • Complete a Kolbs reflection after each meaningful session
  • Identify one shortcut per week and choose a deliberate constraint instead
  • Improve one learning-system note after each Kolbs cycle
