Reflections on 1,000 Days of Math
3 days ago
- Reached a milestone of 1,000 consecutive days of daily math practice, adjusting from aggressive XP targets to a sustainable low-volume routine.
- Progress slowed due to hard lessons and reliance on notes/answer checks, which masked weaknesses and prevented the learning system from identifying gaps.
- Reset progress to rebuild prerequisites and found deeper understanding and higher quiz scores on the second pass.
- Math practice improved decision-making and financial outcomes, contributing to achieving financial independence in late 30s.
- Building daily intellectual discipline enhanced ambition and, combined with AI, led to building various apps and tools.
- Kids adopted a love for math and a growth mindset, embracing struggle and failure as part of learning.
- The journey evolved from a specific goal (M4ML) to a lifestyle, with daily math as a relaxing and rewarding habit.
- Recommends Math Academy for structured goals but values the broader cognitive and personal benefits.
