for the straight-A student who's plateaued because they spread thin across everything
Goal
Spend one day on a single craft you've been neglecting because it didn't show up on the test.
Source principle
The 3 Commitments (mastery): overachievers chase grades; mastery demands one craft, given a full day. : from The One Thing by Gary Keller.
