Notes

I have decided to start taking notes after every class. Whether I am a student or instructor, this week I have been making a brief summary of what was covered, what I tried out or learned and what I can improve upon. This is to serve me in a couple of ways. First, it will allow me to look back at what my perspective was on a particular day. Second, it allows me to retain more from my classes, which in turn can help me learn even more.

I got the idea from class on Monday, we had a mock fitness test and Sifu Freitag made a suggestion to record our results so we can review and compare them at a later date. I happen to have this binder in my kung fu bag that has just been sitting there since I started my training, unused. It has a few sporadic notes, an old copy of the curriculum and a list of the Tai Chi movements, other than that I just contains a bunch of blank pages. I thought this would be a great opportunity to use it instead of having it waste away slowly in my backpack, which is already with me almost all the time.

This is just another way for me to keep engaged in my pursuit to mastery.
