"Many people have a lag between learning and doing; they actually learn or realize things on a mental level, but don't take advantage of this newfound perspective for some amount of time afterwards. This constant lag can be overcome!" -Patrick Chapin

This is a personal commitment to make this change. I have been searching for why I haven't felt as sharp as I did back when I competed in Super Smash Bros. Melee. I am undoubtably far more knowledgable now, but my application of that knowledge has been lacking.

I just started reading Next Level Magic by Patrick Chapin who I have recently been researching his career, but more so his ideals on magic and life in general. That quote was only a few pages in and it's the answer I have been looking for these last 5 months. Public and verbalized commitment is the strongest form so I am reading this out loud as I post; "I solemnly swear to rapidly apply all new knowledge gained and never settle on just knowing enough."
