In other words, start with the end result.
This is the core of prototyping, starting with the end product and getting there no matter how badly implemented.

- In programming, we usually call this abstractions where we don't need to worry about the implementation details and whatnot.
  Some would even take one more step by starting with the user-oriented documentation or unit tests.

- In learning, we could start with our end-goal.
  This is quite similar to [[https://collegeinfogeek.com/about/meet-the-author/my-impossible-list/][Thomas Frank's impossible list]] that we explicitly say what we want to do.
  We could apply the principle what we want to do when we learn a skill.

This is like the practice to [[id:0dbfee88-cdce-48d1-9a10-23fc12d9bcd5][Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal]], only the examples are created yourself.
It also allows to make iterations with a [[id:05a39f96-fb1c-4d71-9be1-fc4c2e251e8f][Start small and improve later]]-kind of workflow.

However, focusing too much on the destination can block your progress from having a clear sight on how to get there.

Add notes on skill-building and note-taking Some more notes on them, though it's becoming more broad with the perspectives this time. There is a backlog of them more, I just need to process them this morning (or evening). This will eventually diverge into more concrete skills now. 2021-07-14 23:23:35 +00:00			`#+date_modified: "2021-07-13 21:54:00 +08:00"`
