Depth-First Learning

I learn depth-first: when something catches my attention I go all the way down before coming back up, rather than skimming breadth-first across many topics.

It’s slower at the start and far more durable at the end. The cost is real — you have to be willing to sit with a hard position for a long time (a habit chess trained into me). The payoff is that ideas compound instead of evaporating.

This is exactly why Evergreen Notes suit me: a note I can return to and deepen matches how I actually think.
