Those two words contain a revolution. Not "learn-then-do," which implies you must earn permission to act. Not "think-then-execute," which suggests theory should precede practice.

When I wanted to learn cooking, I didn't read recipes endlessly; I burned onions and discovered how heat actually behaves. When I wanted to learn a language, I didn't memorize grammar rules; I stumbled through conversations with native speakers who corrected my mistakes in real time. When I wanted to learn how to monetize on YouTube, I didn't write elaborate content strategies; I started posting videos and let the brutal feedback teach me what actually resonated.</p><p>"Do-Learn" gave me permission to start before I was ready, fail early, fail often, to discover through making rather than thinking my way to readiness.</p></blockquote><p>--&gt; I never wish to cross a bridge [/ board a plane / enter a high-rise elevator, yada yada] built by tradespeople who never bothered first learning their craft, designed by an "engineer" who's not yet actually got around to learning any actual, well y'know, <em>engineering!</em> Ditto brain surgery, heart surgery, et al. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/behaviour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>behaviour</span></a></p>
