Fool Proofing Explained

Fool Proof

Fool proofing is an intense and time consuming process. It’s an amazing tool, but given the intense process, you only want to use it for games that you need major improvement on, not games where you’re off by a little bit.

So, here’s the criteria for when to do it - 

• Three or more Questions wrong (One or two isn’t worth the process).

and/or

• You finished the game significantly later than you should, i.e. two and a half minutes later than JY suggests in his videos.

and/or

• You’re just Lost :)

If none of these apply, then no need to Fool proof, just review, BR and or look to an explanation.

If any of the criteria above do apply, then Fool Proof:

1) Watch JY’s Explanation of the specific game on 7sage: Watch purposefully, actively (Not passively) What did JY do differently, especially on areas where you had challenges? ie diagramming, set up, inferences you may have missed. 
​​
2) Repeat the game over and over in ONE sitting UNTIL... Fool Proofed! (Every question right and in the time JY says).


Key Points 

• Do this in ONE sitting - not spread out over time.
• Doesn’t have to be 10 it can be 3, 7, 12 - it’s just until you have them all correct and on time.
• Some people get concerned that after a few repeats, it seems like you’re doing well because it’s “memorized,” but it’s muscle memory we’re after - ie like learning wrestling moves, martial arts.
