Dear Hackers,

The other day I was scraping the gills off the bottom of portobello mushrooms, and I kept thinking, “Isn’t there some sort of hack to make this job easier?” And then I figured out the hack of all hacks:

Keep doing something over and over until you get good at it.

First we know exactly what we want to get better at, then we break it up into the important parts, then we practice those skills over and over. As we do that, we keep track of our progress towards our goals.

So while I improve at prepping mushrooms, you will use the same model to become better readers, writers, and problem solvers.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
