Long-horizon direction. These goals guide priorities but should not compete with the single active goal.

North-star capability

Become an increasingly independent learner who can use LLMs responsibly to understand, practise, apply, and retain useful skills for career, work, study, and life.

Principles

  • Build understanding, not just answers.
  • Convert interests and failures into small, observable practice tasks.
  • Keep source material and evidence traceable.
  • Use LLMs to improve thinking, not replace it.
  • Review and revise the learning system when evidence suggests it is not working.

Candidate long-term goals (prioritise later)

  1. Build a detailed, truthful learner model that makes LLM guidance more adaptive over time.
  2. Develop a sustainable habit of practice, reflection, and spaced review.
  3. Maintain a reusable personal knowledge base grounded in original sources and real attempts.
  4. Transfer learning into real projects, work outcomes, and everyday decisions.

Guardrails

  • Do not start a new major objective until the current goal has a next action, an evidence standard, and a review point.
  • Keep fewer active priorities than available attention.
  • Archive or defer goals deliberately rather than silently abandoning them.
