The Learning Strategist · with Luca Vettor
Learn faster than your job changes.
Your job changes faster than you can learn it, and your workday keeps interrupting your thinking. A learning strategy in three habits: reset the next ten minutes, keep the thread of your work, and give AI a useful starting point.
One practical trick per issue. The Learning Strategist Newsletter, on Substack.
Sound familiar?
At 9:17 on Tuesday morning, you open the document you promised to finish before lunch.
Your director needs the recommendation for tomorrow’s leadership meeting. You have forty-three minutes before the next meeting. Then your workday begins asking questions.
One of your team members needs approval before a customer call. Finance wants revised numbers by the end of the day. Your boss asks for a “quick update” before ten. A meeting called Quick Sync appears at 9:30 with no agenda and seven attendees.
At 9:29, four things are moving and you still have not decided what deserves to move first.
No single request destroys the plan. Each one is small, reasonable, and easy to accept. Together, they make arrival order the plan.
From the opening of When Everything Is Urgent.

The person behind the ideas
I’m Luca. I write for people who think for a living.
I started with physics and mathematical models in finance. Then came software, projects, products, and technical communication. Different roles. Same problem: deciding what matters and keeping enough context to act.
I’ve drowned in useless notes. I’ve chased apps. I’ve forgotten things I should’ve remembered. I spent more than two decades working inside complexity before I gave the recurring problem a name. The Learning Strategist turns that experience into methods you can use on an ordinary Tuesday.
Physicist turned tech writer. Author of three books.
