Welcome, budding polyglot! Something that holds many language learners back is an obsession with optimization. Trying to find the perfect way to do things to the point where they end up doing nothing at all. While I'm sure there are many terms for this, my favorite is analysis paralysis. Analyzing things so deeply that you end up paralyzed, never making any progress.

With that in mind, the next several paid posts are going to be deep dives on strategies that will allow for the maximum output to input ratio. There are little things that can change the way the brain retains things or how it recalls them, my goal is to provide you all with a guide to your reading, writing, listening, and speaking that will allow you to forget about optimization and hit the ground running with a roadmap you design yourself using the strategies I share.
