I have nine months until I start college, and I aim to make the most of the abundant free time I have until then. From what I’ve read, I see that Less Wrong values scholarship highly.
For the first 80 days, I’m going to spend a minimum of:
One hour studying CS from MIT OCW (5:00-6:00 AM) every morning
I’ll spend more (a lot more) time whenever I have it.
One hour learning Quenya (6:00-7:00 AM) every morning
I want to be able to think and journal in a language nobody else speaks
Broader meta-skills I want to acquire:
Type at an average of ~150 WPM and ~98% accuracy
Writing
I’m going to publish weekly posts detailing my progress
Put together a plan to learn to write and execute it.
Regarding Rationality (the ultimate meta-skill):
Read at least 20+ books on rationality, decision-making, heuristics and biases, etc.
Practice
(I’d appreciate any feedback / advice / questions if you have them).
Ultralearning in 80 days
