かがみの孤城 Day 1
Reading
Week’s progress:
31.5%
To read an equal amount each day, I need to read 14.3% of the material daily. But Migaku Reader only gives a percentage per “page” (same as any other reader), since it cannot know where on the page I’ve read through. For this reason, I’ve rounded week one to 15.8% required per day.
However, after reading my 15.8% for today, I found this pace is not sustainable. I spent more than two hours on it, a time investment I can manage on weekends, but not on weekdays.
For this reason, my new aim is 31.5% Saturday (which I completed in about four hours total), 31.5% on Sunday, and the remaining 37% comes to 7.5% per day. With each “page” in Migaku Reader coming to 5.3%, this means I just aim for two “pages” per day weekdays, so long as I meet my quota weekends.
I estimate my time investment will need to be a minimum of one to two hour per day weekdays, and four to five hours per day weekends.
And I still plan to keep up my “one manga chapter per day” reading pace.
And I expect to heavily participate in the next Absolute Beginner Book Club each day.

New kanji cards: 4
絆、寄、殺、罪
Once again, I’m trying to really lean into to mnemonics for kanji. I know they haven’t worked for me in the past (repeatedly). But, I’m going to give it another try.
New vocabulary cards: 10
目配せ、長所、すでに、絆、どれだけ、途切れる、年寄り、息を殺す、色とりどり、罪悪感
For Anki cards, I didn’t pay attention to frequency like I was planning. I’m sure I’ll need to start doing that soon, or else I may end up making too many cards each day for me to keep up with in reviews. I stopped creating new cards halfway through my reading today to try and keep the volume manageable.
