History: a monthly focus you can repeat

A practical rhythm works better than a perfect plan. For history, try four passes each month: 1) Scan: skim new material and tag it (issue, concept, example). 2) Compress: rewrite tags into ten bullets you could use in an answer. 3) Retrieve: close the book and write one paragraph from memory. 4) Calibrate: compare with a model outline and fix the structure, not every adjective. You can replace imagery anytime via the admin upload tools or by editing post bodies here. When you are ready, delete or unpublish demo posts from the admin panel.
