What this is

One small, surprising skill a week: throwing a card, tying a bowline, spinning a staff, palming a coin, beatboxing, juggling. Pick one or take a random one, learn it, move on. Track the ones that stuck.

The premise is that the world is full of skills nobody teaches anymore because they are not useful enough to be a course and too specific to be a hobby. A week is exactly long enough to get one to the point where you can do it at a party and short enough that you never get precious about it.
