Daniel Gross’ framework for learning
Build a video game for yourself. Like a game, productive projects have multiple levels.
Follow the Goldilocks Principle: not too easy, not too hard. The learning project needs to be challenging enough to demand focus, but easy enough to make consistent progress. You can then enter the optimal state of learning.
If you get stuck, “video game” is too hard. When this happens, you should stop. Work on a smaller step or retreat to a manageable challenge
