F.I.R.S.T.

F.I.R.S.T. is a great framework for guiding one's learning:

1. Focus on something you want to learn and apply
2. Implement it in a real-life situation
3. Reflect on the results you obtain
4. Seek advice and feedback to better understand those results
5. Transfer your learning and lessons gained to the next step

I share this framework because there is so much information today that there is, in my opinion, the definite risk that we don't fully master the information we read. Without applying a piece of knowledge, we do not really master it, which means we don't own the knowledge (even though we may own a library full of books!).
