A good question is worth sitting with for a day before you google it.

Reaching for an answer immediately ends the most useful part of a question, which is the stretch where your own mind is working on it. In that gap you form guesses, notice what you already know, and discover which part you are actually confused about. Answers that land on top of that groundwork stick. Answers that arrive before it slide straight off.

When something genuinely puzzles you this week, write it on paper and leave it alone until tomorrow. Let it follow you around on the bus and between classes. Then look it up, and notice how much of the answer you had half built already.
