A typical daily video has 150k+ views! There is *fan art*! There’s an encouraging chat full of other students. Other students’ video streams are picture-in-picture on the wall. There’s something very powerful about watching someone exhibit intensely focused behavior.

That is: it’s one thing to read a self-help book on Deep Work or Atomic Habits, full of deeply-considered models and techniques; it’s another thing—maybe an emotionally more powerful thing!—to internalize those practices implicitly by watching them in action.

In a typical session, he’s: * reviewing Anki cards for a couple hours (!!!) * doing written exercises (from textbooks?) * writing notes / Anki cards about class materials he’s reading * doing programming projects (for classes, I think) It’s interesting to see all this modeled.
