Teaching Games: Ten-Minute Timer Then Play

Rule lectures kill evenings.

Field notes on Teaching Games — messy, usable, long enough to act on.

Teach enough to start; learn mid-game with patience.

1. Observe once at the hour you'd actually use it.
2. Write the Chinese name the same day.
3. Keep proof for money steps.
4. Build a backup before you need it.
5. Revisit after thirty ordinary days.

Myth worth dropping

"More research always means a better decision." Sometimes it means avoidance. Decide, date it, revise later.

Defaults beat novelty. Near beats famous. Dated notes beat memory.

Protect your Tuesday-night self — that's who lives with the plan.
