Do, think.

Do, think.

Do, think.

This is the never-ending cycle of improving: Do, then think; do again, then think again. The doing informs the thinking; the thinking informs the doing. Specific “doing” actions depend on the knowledge and skills you are trying to learn, whereas the “thinking” organizes the knowledge and skills into conceptual models.
