Checkpoints
| Day | Do this |
|---|---|
| 1 | Record a 2-minute talk explaining any idea. This is my "before". |
| 30 | Record the same idea again. Compare. Move reading aloud to 45 min. |
| 50 | Halfway. Read my first 10 explanations. Notice how my writing changed. |
| 100 | Record again and compare with Day 1. Write what changed. Decide the next 100 days. |
