 A 1% weekly check-in is actually assessing your study strategy and not so much the information. For example, you may set some time aside on a Saturday or Sunday to do a few things, such as looking at your weekly calendar and saying, how many of the things that I want to get done this week that I actually get done? How many of the tasks did I have to spend more time or less time? And how I'm going to make adjustments going forward to the next week? What study strategies that I want to do and which of them actually didn't provide any benefit? Or which ones did I not even get to, although it sounded nice? Which resources helped me out, which of them didn't? Doing so, you can make small improvements of saying, just what are one or two things that you can do this upcoming week to make an improvement from the prior week? How can you improve your scheduling? How can you improve your study retention? How can you improve your motivation to avoid getting distracted? Find the biggest challenges of the prior week. Ask yourself what small commitments you can make to have that 1% improvement, because again, over a span of 12 weeks, 13, 16 weeks, you can make a big dramatic change in how you're studying, without really doing very much differently on a week to week basis.
