What I Learned in Boating School Is

March 2021


What I learned in boating school is…what I learned in boating school is…what I learned in boating school is…

* A little practice, everyday, over a long period of time is much better than a ton of practice, over a week.

* Don’t get overwhelmed by the amount of content online. Everyone has some guaranteed way to study; find what works for you and stick with it.

* Read the information; type the details; hand write what it means in your own words.

* While consistency is key, that doesn’t mean you can always sit down, focus, and get the job done (especially with work, a social life, hobbies, etc.). It’s okay to to chalk some topics up to “not today”. Just as long as its not too often.

* Doing something physical makes it a ton easier to focus on whatever you need to focus on.

* Some work can be done with a boring movie on in the background; other works require the soundtrack to Interstellar echoing through the cavernous halls of galactic cathedrals so that you can save humanity from existence.

* Read each question closely and don’t forget that your first answer is probably not your best answer.

* Find the pattern, understand the pattern, hand-write the pattern, apply the pattern. Repeat.
