First and foremost, thanks so much again for hosting the thread @windupbird <3 .

There’s always something I change in every challenge at this point I think, but bit by bit I’m discovering how I like to do things, what seems to be effective for me and how I want to go forward. Starting from this challenge I won’t be using an everyday layout anymore and I won’t be updating checkboxes in a calendar either, I’ve gotten rid of it altogether. This β€œoff” month I’ve been experimenting with it and the only change I’ve seen is a positive one, with a lot less pressure to perform and no difference in productivity. I think I can do this now precisely because at this point after more than a year of daily challenges, the habit seems to be pretty ingrained and I always get back to it easily when I take a β€œbreak”, which is never really a complete break anyway. I’m not sure if this could have worked back then, but I’m grateful it does now. The only thing I will try to achieve is 10 new words in Anki everyday, which has been very easy so far because I almost always make enough cards in advance from what I play anyway. I’d be super happy if at the very minimum I can do that on the days that I don’t do anything else. It’s also not a limit in any way, just a consistent minimum, while still playing/reading for as long as I want. This way I’ll also mix a low amount of SRS with much more immersion, which is what I’ve been aiming for for a while already. I’m quite happy with this new plan.

I will still update virtually everyday even if no calendar, because as always the activity and interaction of this thread always pushes me forward and it’s fun :slight_smile: . Good luck to everyone! Here we go again.
