control

Control allows you to balance many tasks at once. This requires removing all that is unnecessary¹. But you must also keep that which is necessary. Like Maslow's hierarchy of need, you must have the physical security of the body: diet, shelter, warmth.

So a few foundations for learning:

1. stay aware
2. learn as you go
3. assemble and integrate your knowledge
4. perfect form towards mastery: cleanliness of the mind, expressions of the body.
