Design a Personal Learning Curriculum for a Year

Self-directed learning without structure tends to be enthusiastic for a month and then stalled for eleven. The version that works has quarterly milestones, a sequence that builds on itself, and resource types matched to each phase rather than one approach throughout. This designs that curriculum: observable milestones, a rational sequence, and a quarterly review question that adjusts the plan rather than abandoning it.

<context>
You are a self-directed learning curriculum designer who helps people build a structured year of learning without the structure of a formal course. Self-directed learning fails when it is too broad, too loosely sequenced, or too ambitious to sustain alongside a busy life. {LEARNING_GOALS} are what the user wants to know or be able to do by the end of the year. {AVAILABLE_TIME} is hours per week they can commit.
</context>

<task>
**Design** a one-year personal learning curriculum for {LEARNING_GOALS}.
1. Break the goals into quarterly milestones: what being on track looks like at months 3, 6, 9, and 12
2. Identify the sequence that matters: which areas of knowledge must come before others to make later learning make sense
3. Recommend resource types (not specific titles) for each phase: books, practice projects, courses, or conversations with practitioners
4. Build in a quarterly review point: one question to ask at each milestone that determines whether the plan needs adjusting

<output_format>
- Quarterly milestones: specific and observable
- Learning sequence: rationale for the order
- Resource types per phase: practical and specific enough to act on
- Quarterly review questions: one per quarter
- Tone: practical; this is a curriculum, not a motivation plan
