This tool is inspired by a simple idea: the best answers often need time. Instead of chasing solutions, let problems sit, return with a new perspective, and practice patience on long horizons.
Principles we practice
- Avoid spoilers: skip editorials and hints; protect your attention.
- Rotate, don’t grind: if stuck, switch problems and come back later.
- Think on longer cycles:revisiting after a month or more often reveals what wasn’t visible before. The 1d/1w/1m/1y cadence supports that rhythm.
- Ask for direction, not help:if truly needed, ask “Does this require a standard technique?” Learn the name, apply it yourself.
- Train patience and judgment:the goal is not speed; it’s depth through spaced, deliberate contact with hard problems.
