☕Morning Knowledge Pull

Make It StickAdult Learners · Morning · Morning BlockEasy

for the lifelong learners starting the day with retrieval

Goal

Open the day by pulling yesterday's learning out of memory before any new input floods in.

Source principle

Retrieval practice: every attempt to recall is itself a learning event; doing it first thing protects the memory from the day's interference. : from Make It Stick by Brown, Roediger & McDaniel.

The plan

  1. 🌅
    6:00-6:05 AM
    Coffee on. No phone. Sit with yesterday's topic name in mind.
  2. ✍️
    6:05-6:15 AM
    Brain-dump everything you remember from yesterday's learning. Pen on paper.
  3. 🔍
    6:15-6:20 AM
    Open yesterday's notes. Mark hits and misses.
  4. 📖
    6:20-6:30 AM
    Re-read ONLY the misses. Targeted, not broad.
  5. 🔁
    6:30-6:35 AM
    Close notes. Re-recall the misses from memory.
  6. 💭
    6:35-6:45 AM
    Write 1 sentence: how does yesterday's material connect to my life?
  7. 📌
    6:45-6:50 AM
    Pick ONE concept to revisit tomorrow. Tag it.
  8. 📊
    6:50-6:55 AM
    Log recall score (X/5). Track the trend.
  9. ✅
    6:55-7:00 AM
    Done. Day started with retrieval, not consumption.
