Schema shelf-life review

pick three mental models you rely on, write down when you adopted each, what has changed in the domain since then, and whether the model still fits current reality

Why This Is a Practice

Operationalizes schema evolution monitoring.

Source Lessons

Schemas must evolve or become obsolete

Schema evolution is not optional maintenance. It is the core discipline that separates adaptive thinkers from intelligent people trapped in outdated frameworks.
