for the overachiever who wants a repeatable drill cycle for any stuck sub-skill
Goal
Run one 90-min drill cycle: diagnose, isolate, attack, measure, decide.
Source principle
Drill: run the full diagnose-isolate-attack-measure loop on one bottleneck. : from Ultralearning by Scott Young.
The plan
- 🔍0:00-0:08Diagnose: name the one sub-skill bottlenecking the whole skill.
- ✂️0:08-0:15Isolate it. Strip every other part away.
- 📊0:15-0:20Measure pre-performance on one metric. Real number.
- 🔁0:20-0:35Drill rep 1. Full focus. 60-sec rest after.
- 🔁0:35-0:50Drill rep 2. Same drill. Same focus. Rest.
- 🔁0:50-1:05Drill rep 3. Same drill. Same focus. Rest.
- 🔁1:05-1:18Drill rep 4. Push difficulty up. Same focus.
- 📊1:18-1:23Measure post-performance on the SAME metric.
- 🪞1:23-1:27Compare pre vs. post. Did the gap close?
- 🤔1:27-1:30Decide: drill-again tomorrow, or integrate into full skill.
