The Great Year of the Scholar Week 1-12
This schedule is designed for a 365-day deep-dive. Each day is structured to provide a balanced “cognitive load”: foundational math in the morning, coding logic in the afternoon, and the physical laws of the universe or the stories of our past in the evening.
By following this, you will be producing one synthesized article per day.
