README

52-Card Goal Tracking System

A self-directed agile goal tracking system built around a 52-card deck metaphor, applying personal kanban and kaizen principles to long-term personal and professional development. Utilizing Markdown for legibility and Git for version control and incremental progress tracking, each suit maps to one of the following domains: engineering tools, applied practice, computer science theory, and personal development. Card values indicate difficulty and prerequisite relationships. Progress is tracked via a structured changelog and progress file hosted on GitHub.
