Learning Agility Starts with Restlessness

🧠 Emotional Opening

“ I can’t even finish a book anymore.”
“ Everyone else seems to be learning something new. I'm just... stuck.”
“Am I falling behind without even knowing it?”

💡 Quiet Definition

If you've ever felt like that anxious, left behind, overwhelmed you're not broken.

That’s actually the first sign of something powerful. Learning Agility.

Learning Agility isn’t about how smart you are.

It’s about how willing you are to grow  even when it’s uncomfortable.

👤 Real Story

Lucy, a student majoring in design, felt she was falling behind because she wasn’t learning AI tools fast enough.
Instead of rushing into tutorials, she did something simple. she asked three friends how they learn.

That one question led her to build her own 10-minute-a-day system.
