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 conventional teaching—because best practices are often suboptimal.
   
3. I get my hands dirty. "The difference between knowledge and wisdom is experience,” and I need real 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 handbooks on the web instead of books. Books are worse for learning:

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 Books become outdated, whereas I update handbooks a few times per year.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

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