Action plan

Take the smallest useful next step

  1. Watch the selected video with notes.
  2. Complete the practice action: Practice an overhand shuffle and five-card deal slowly for ten minutes, measuring smoothness rather than speed.
  3. Verify one important claim using an independent authoritative source.
  4. Record one remaining question and one next step.
