I use this site to deconstruct how things work:

1. I pick a skill I want to be good at.
2. I research and experiment to uncover its principles. I question assumptions behind its conventional teaching. Best practices are often suboptimal.
   
3. I get my hands dirty. Because the "difference between knowledge and wisdom is experience,” and I need experience to teach others.
4. I rewrite until I have a handbook that is interesting, effective, and concise.
5. I release the handbook for free. Each takes around 1,000 hours.

I release online handbooks instead of books. Books are actually worse for learning:

1. Books become outdated, whereas I update handbooks a few times per year.
2. Books lack audio and video, which are at times critical for effective teaching.
3. Books contain boring filler to reach page count requirements.
4. Book excerpts can't be linked. So, people rarely return to re-read.

Say hello on Twitter: @Julian.

I tweet about writing, critical thinking, and audience growth.
