set measurable target with definite time frame, or waste your spare time

Here’s one of the key justifications/benefits of the UChicago program. Without it, I would make some effort at self-learning it but after 3 years this personal goal would get no laser no O2 no measurable progress and my spare time would be basically wasted …. according to the rmSelf

I think yoga training is a similar story, though the value is less $measurable. Weight loss would be much higher value.

I think Tony Robins would probably advise you to set these targets.

! Notice most (if not all) of kids study “improvement” is has low $measurable value:
– piano .. measurable
– renzi .. measurable
– swim .. measurable
– compo/blogging .. measurable
– typing .. self-measurable:)
– mental arithmetic  .. measurable

So which parts of my life experience offer positive/neg examples? See also post on burn or rot.
+eg: learning cpp — measurable by job IV
** coding projects
** tech blogging
+eg: learning swing — measurable by job IV
+eg: learning c# and MSVS — measurable by job IV and OC job. Without this job, I would spend some personal time learning this stuff but basically make no visible progress.
+eg: algo IV — measurable
+eg: learn 5bi (dropped due to ROTI)
?eg: email + blogging with friends
-eg: personal inv + trading
-eg: meet up with friends
