“The basic framework I’d like to suggest is the one I used for my Foundations project: pick a defined area of improvement, and make a focused effort at improving your knowledge and behavior over one month…
I break down the process of conducting a month-long sprint into four parts:
- Choose a theme.
- Take action.
- Get books.
- Adjust based on feedback.
—Scott H. Young, “The One-Month Knowledge Sprint: How to Read Books, Take Action, and Change Your Life.” scotthyoung.com. September 2025.
Obviously, a month isn’t a great deal of time, but it can serve as a work unit and you can break your interest into month units, same as a professor might break a topic down into a semester, units, and individual lectures. Same concept applies.
