Pick one question this week and chase it until you’re satisfied. Not a grade. Just a question.

Almost all the learning in your week has a destination attached: a mark, a report, somebody’s approval. Following a question for its own sake is a different act, and it is the one that shows you what studying feels like when nobody is checking. The satisfaction is private and oddly durable, because you decided when it was finished.

Choose something small enough to actually close: why a local road bends there, how a referee signal came about, what your surname meant. Give it three or four sessions and stop when you feel done. Tell one person what you found, not for credit, just because you know it now.
