Learn by decomposition
Any topic is small enough, eventually.
Recursive splits what you want to learn into subtopics, then splits those, until each piece fits in one sitting. Every piece comes with the resources worth your time.
01
Name the thing
Type a topic as broad as you like. Broad is the point.
02
Split, then split again
Open any subtopic to break it further. Stop when it looks learnable.
03
Work the leaves
Each leaf collects videos, papers, courses and threads. Tick it off; the outline fills in.
