Core Concept - Petite practice is a framework for personal and professional growth powered by small intentional actions [1] - Petite practice invites us to slow down, focus on what matters, and achieve meaningful progress one small step at a time [1] - STEP (Simplify, Tell, Examine, Praise progress) is a simple repeatable system designed to turn big goals into small intentional actions [3] Learning & Development - Traditional learning often focuses on performance and checking boxes, lacking grit, voice, and surprise [1] - Petite practice shifts the focus from knowing to growing, emphasizing curiosity, action, and reflection [1] - Students move from theory to motion, building and testing ideas, embracing failure as a first attempt in learning [1][2] - Petite practice encourages reflection at every step, rooting growth in deeper understanding and improvement [7] Implementation & Impact - Simplify big goals into small, manageable steps, like writing two pages a day to complete a dissertation [4] - Share goals to make them real and actionable, shifting focus to the present moment [5][6] - Praise progress and celebrate small wins to fuel momentum and create a habit of growth [7][8] - By 2050, the future belongs to those who can take change in stride by taking small intentional actions that add up over time [11]

AI in Education: Core Concerns - The core issue is not AI's ability to personalize learning, but its highlighting of systemic failures in education incentives [1] - Educational systems overemphasize grades (A+) rather than the learning process, discouraging effort and deeper engagement [2] - Unregulated AI tools are readily available to students, especially during crucial periods like finals, posing risks [3] - The pursuit of "perfect" education through AI-driven personalization may not be ideal, as real-world problem-solving requires navigating imperfections [5][6] - There's a lack of focus on what students are meant to learn *with* AI, rather than simply making it easier to get good grades [6] AI's Impact on Cognitive Processes - Students may rely on AI (like ChatGPT) without critical evaluation, similar to blindly trusting the first Google result [10][11] - Cognitive offloading, where individuals relinquish cognitive effort to machines, is a significant concern [17] - User experience (UX) dark patterns in AI can manipulate users, encouraging prolonged engagement and potentially harmful advice [19][21][22] - Professionals using AI may experience reduced cognitive effort in knowledge work, comprehension, assessment, and analysis [24][25] - The risk of AI becoming an "autopilot" leads to intellectual deskilling and atrophy of critical thinking [25] Potential Solutions & Future Directions - Productive resistance, or the right amount of AI assistance, needs to be determined to encourage cognitive engagement [27][28] - AIs' training data is not transparent, making it difficult to understand how they work and implement effective resistance [28] - Solutions require a balance between individual responsibility (understanding AI's limitations, verifying information) and systemic changes (government regulation, educational reforms) [29][30][31][32][33]
