The planner

The problem with wanting to learn something is never a shortage of material. It is that there are a thousand tutorials, half of them are five hours long, and none of them tells you what to do in the next twenty minutes. This tells you that, and what to leave alone until later.

How it works, since that matters here

There is no model in this. Every plan is assembled from rules written into the page, which is why it answers in the same instant you press the button, works with no connection, and never recommends a video that does not exist.

That last part is the reason. A small language model asked which tutorials are good will produce channel names and titles with total confidence, because it has no idea what is on YouTube this week and no way to check. So this does not try. It gives you the filters instead — under twenty minutes, makes you play in the first three, one teacher for thirty days — and you apply them to whatever you find.

The method is the part worth having. It is the same one behind most of the notes: decide what finished actually looks like, make it small enough to start tonight, and set a date when you will find out whether it is working.
