Algorithm

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0600

Algorithm: a finite set of rules that gives a sequence of operations for solving a specific type of problem.

Algorithms have 5 general characteristics:

Algorithms must always terminate after a finite number of steps.
Each step of the algorithm must be precisely defined.
An algorithm has zero or more inputs
An algorithm has one or more outputs.
An algorithm is generally expected to be effective. Could be done using pencil and paper

Habits

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0600

Habits are routine for us, they are the biggest indicator of what we will be doing in the long-term. They are hard to form and hard to break. Maintaining good habits decreases our reliance on willpower, a fleeting resource for humans. Habits also combat the conflict between long-term and short-term interests for us. Applying strong habits to learning and thinking will allow for a much greater understanding over time.
