On a given day, there only is so much one can learn.

Much of the learning will soon disappear again. That is if one leaves it unattended.

A simple way to make oneself more aware of the piece of learning that has felt more relevant, more interesting, or maybe worth remembering is the one-minute essay.

It’s a simple discipline: take a minute to write down what that piece of learning was.

It allows you to browse through the learning, highlight one element, and a place to start when coming back to your notes.
