Episode 3 of My Senpai is Annoying, similar to my comment in the Read Every Day thread, I feel kind of silly for putting off listening as long as I did. l am not getting 100% but not worrying about that, and it’s definitely a better use of time than grinding extra on SRS.
All skills are worth practising and some are definitely more enjoyable than others! SRS has its place but it’s hardly ever fun.

Hi! I’m super new here. I’ve been doing wani for a few years but recently reset myself to 0 after falling out of the habit! Back in the saddle, and I didn’t even realize there was a community aspect. SO I’d love to join the challenge! I’ve been listening to the old Tofugu podcast recently… but wanna add something else too.
But first, newbie question: where is the calendar thingy I can copy/paste? I’m struggling to find it!
Edit: Thanks for your help!

Home Post | 12-14th Jan Update:
Well, I am not enjoying being back at work when it comes to trying to fit in the amount of studying I want to be doing, around the usual basic life things. 
Mon 12/1 - 2x 青の祓魔師 episodes (40min), 27minutes of Bunpro example sentences.
Tue 13/1 - 37mins of 日本語コンテッペイ
Wed 14/1 - 18mins of 日本語コンテッペイ
I really had to repeat a whole bunch of those Monday Bunpro sentences multiple times before I let myself reveal the Japanese and English text! I’m far less intimidated by challenging single sentences though, so it’s definitely good to challenge myself there.
New cumulative total: 11 hours and 3 minutes.

Watched the third episode of My Tiny Senpai, this one was pretty かわいい as well. Still listening to music as well, but I don’t remember to count that since it’s often just a soundtrack to whatever is vexing me at work, or vex-adjacent, which has been very frequent so far this year. 
I agree, I think SRS is comfortable for me but I was pushing way too hard with that and feel like I was learning to SRS Japanese, not the language itself. Much happier with my balance now!
January 14th - Emma:)Japanese 23min & 4989 American Life 32min
Don’t know about the perfectionist gods forgiving you, but the なんとかなるさ
gods will definitely back you up.
