Day 29. You have frameworks most professionals never develop. But here's what nobody tells you: learning is only the first stage.

Three stages: Learning (Days 1–30), Practicing (Months 1–6), Mastery (Years 1–5). You're about to graduate from stage one into stage two.

Deliberate practice: make decisions → document → review → extract lessons → update your system. That loop, repeated monthly, is mastery.

Two books that will accelerate your journey: Thinking in Bets (Annie Duke) and Superforecasting (Philip Tetlock). Both in your local library.

The pitfall: treating learning as the end goal. Knowledge stored is not judgment exercised. The reps happen in real decisions, not in reading.

Judgment compounds. Every reviewed decision is a deposit. Every extracted lesson is interest. After five years, the account is extraordinary.

Learning is stage one. You're about to enter stage two: Practice. The next 6 months are where the frameworks become instincts.

Today's exercise: write your 6-month practice commitment. Three specific answers, set as calendar reminders before you close this session.

Commitment 1: What will you use your Pre-Decision Checklist for? Name the specific decision type — hiring, budgets, launches, personal choices.

Commitment 2: When will you do your first 3-month Decision Journal review? Set that calendar reminder now — not later, right now.

Commitment 3: What's the ONE judgment principle you most need to practice in the next 6 months? Write it. That's your personal curriculum.

The compass floats now — rising slightly above the desk, surrounded by a warm golden aura. Tomorrow is the last day. You are ready.
