All mind mapping areas that I include, feed on each other

What you know you don't know &

what you don't know, you don't know.

the answers are always Isolating action steps

in front of you Actions bring clarity

most of the time

we aim to learn
what we know
what we don't

What you know you don't know &
what you don't know, you don't know.
some of the greatest

The more actions you take based on the results

you get, the more you can learn how to optimize
based on those results, the further resolve you
will have on your definite of purpose

1 Clear goals from abstract to granular

2 Immediate feedback on actions taken

when you're on a set
3 Healthy ratio of where challenge meets skill
path (definite of
purpose), you'll keep (Flow state) 4 Action and awareness become one
going
Flow by 5 Distractions taper away and are eventually excluded from consciousness.
