How do you make sure you're planning to teach the real you, and not an idealised version of you? For me: Prioritising reading over video content (I find it harder to retain things I listen to), keeping my schedule similar every day, not bringing in too many "new" things at once (including apps, resources) and avoiding anything that will add unnecessary pressure like streaks. I also use the Pomodoro method, and have different playlists for different activities!
This might be covered already or perhaps you're getting to it later... but there's a real unsureness about what works for ourselves... it's been decades since I have been in school and trying to figure out what makes things stick in my head is still itself a challenge.
This is an excellent question! I've been trying to do a Q&A for a while (and massively overthinking the format!) but I'll do my best to address this really soon!
I can say I hardly ever think of or dream of an idealized me but I absolutely have fallen for "this is the only way to do it" The difference is ill know its not "for me" but still try to conform to the method... I /we can think (and its logical) that I'm no expert on advancement so what I'm currently doing couldn't possibly be the expert way

Yes - when we are in a new sphere of knowledge it's so easy to doubt ourselves! I get it!
