For what it is worth, you do not need prior knowledge here — that is the whole point of the boring parts, and why first-timers start there. As a rule, the first principles take a slow morning; everything else on this site assumes you have them.

Getting started with leisure and travel

Getting started

Realistically, there is no order police here, but the foundations really do make the other guides land earlier than expected. Honestly, the quickest way in is one piece, one choice, an afternoon. Broadly, if you have a lunch break, start with the fundamentals and ignore everything else on the site.

Up-front steps in leisure and travel

In short, give the leisure and travel foundations two or three evenings and the fog lifts in more depth than you expect. Skipping the fundamentals in leisure and travel feels efficient right up until something breaks and no newcomer can say why.
