Your first learning loop
Start with one useful question.
You do not need a perfect system. Choose something you want to understand and give it one thoughtful session.
Pick something small enough to try.
Replace “learn chemistry” with “explain why changing temperature affects this reaction.” Choose an output you can check.
Learn, then close the source.
Read a short section, watch a short explanation, or work through an example. Then put it away and try to retrieve the idea.
Make your understanding visible.
Explain it, draw it, compare two cases, or solve a related problem. An attempt gives you something concrete to evaluate.
Check, correct, and return.
Compare your work with a reliable source. Name one gap and plan a later attempt. Use the gap to choose your next question.
Choose a path into the library.
