The DIY Degree System
We don't teach you what to think. We teach you how to learn.
Every DIY Degree workbook — regardless of subject — runs on the same six-part weekly system. Learn it once, and you can apply it to any subject for the rest of your life.
- 01
Learning Objectives
Every week opens with plain-language goals — what you should be able to do by the end of it. Specific enough to know when you're done.
- 02
Questions to Ask
Reflection prompts that surface what you actually believe, feel, and do about the week's topic before you go research anything.
- 03
Suggested Internet Searches
Curated search terms for that week's topic — so you're not lost in endless tabs, conflicting advice, and financial or technical jargon.
- 04
AI Prompts
A beginner prompt and a pro-level prompt, ready to paste into any AI tool, tuned to that week's exact objective.
- 05
Case Study
A short, realistic scenario with follow-up questions — so you practice the judgment call, not just the theory.
- 06
Workflow Checklist
A short list of small, concrete steps that turn what you just learned into something you actually did this week.
Twelve weeks. One step at a time.
By week 12, you haven't just read a book — you've built a personal reference manual, in your own words, tailored to your goals.
