Today doesn’t feel very productive as I could have done more, especially, on reading. Still, managed to move at least a bit foward in all directions I’m currently interested in. Today I:
Mainly because: I keep saying that I’m gonna start taking notes, but then I never actually TAKE any. And I appreciate that it takes extra time, but then it’s there for quick review (and “clickable”).
I like your “one chunk at a time” approach to recording info from the lessons. You took a few weeks, but got everything caught up fairly quickly! I’ve certainly spent as much time as that “spinning my wheels in frustration at being stuck”.
I particularly like the data fields you are using for your grammar notes, especially the verbs. It’s not the kind of thorough notes that I couldn’t possibly have taken a year ago. Even now for me (weak on grammar), it would be a difficult to take such notes now, but probably a useful exercise.
My computing skills are not strong enough to try Jupyter notes… So I think that I will try to keep my notes using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. (Also because Excel mastery is helpful for many corporate jobs in the US)
Thank you for the inspiration, Trunklayer! (In addition to the ridiculously cute kitties)
I’m very glad to be of any help / inspurration! 
Yeah, Excel is great!
Another great app for taking notes is MS OneNote, which was the inspiration for MyNotes app (the app that I wrote for meowself and am using)
Anyway, best of luck with your studies!
Today I was quite busy with work, so, once again I only did the bare essentials in all directions:
Ok, I failed to write both yesterday’s entry and the day before yesterday’s entry.
Those two days have been weird - on Friday I suddenly got a large increase of work and on Saturday I was very weak. On the bright side, I started listening to
https://nihongoconteppei.com/
which is very good listening practice. With all my other listening practice (NHK Easy News, Satori Reader) I always first read the text and then listen. So, by the time I’m listening, I’ve already understood the article.
With this podcast, however, I don’t have a text, so listening is the only way to understand what’s being said. Luckily, this podcast is ideal for beginners, because he talks quite slowly (but not too slowly) and often repeats himself. Also, despite being slower than normal conversation, it still sounds more natural than many audio in textbooks, because he talks quite emotionally.
Anyway, returning to the log:
Still, on Friday I managed to do most of my routine, albeit, not very much in every direction:
On Saturday I managed to do quite a lot in some directions, but nothing in other directions:
Thank you so much for helping me through my 1200 review queue!
You made it! 勇者だ！
見事ね！！ すばらしい進めていく！！＾－＾
Today I’ve still been feeling very weak (though not as weak as yesterday), so I was unable to do much, but at least I did something in all directions:
Last days I haven’t been feeling well. Still, in such cases it’s still better to do at least something, even if it’s a token effort, than nothing. What did I do today?
Well, today has been, while not as productive as I’d like, still better than yesterday. So, what did I do today, studywise?
Wow you are busting along great!!! o . O
…
omigosh is that kushiyaki?? yessss!!! 
I can’t wait to get to level 37!!! :DDD
Also: sorry you’ve been feeling unwell. I really hope that it gets better very very very soon. <3
Today turned out to be unexpectedly productive. Today I managed to do the following:
import requests
import re
url = 'https://nihongoconteppei.com/page/4/'
path = 'E:\Docs\Japanese\Podcasts'
with requests.get(url) as r:
contents = r.text
regexp = re.compile(r'http://media.blubrry.com/nihongo_con_teppei/s/nihongoconteppei.com/wp-content/uploads/\d{4}/\d{2}/(.+?\.mp3)')
for res in regexp.finditer(contents):
file_url = res.group()
file_name = res.groups()[0]
with requests.get(file_url) as r:
with open(f'{path}/{file_name}', 'wb') as f:
f.write(r.content)
I didn’t plan to catch up with my level the same day I get a new level, but it happened nevertheless.
Now that my vocab quicksheet has finally cought up with my level, I will be adding new levels as I get them. So, I won’t add level 39 vocab until I reach level 39. Instead, I am going to go through all the previous levels and put them in order. Because some of them are empty links (mostly in Painful and the beginning of Death) levels, some miss context sentences, some have wrong level indicated. This needs fixing.
Anyway, as I’ve said, today has been one of my more productive days.
Ok, today wasn not as productive as yesterday, but not bad either.
Just realized, I forgot to make an entry yesterday. Luckily, I didn’t forget to study 
Yesterday I did the following:
Congratulations on getting all caught up on the quicksheet! 
And so much work you’ve been doing – yay!!! Cheering you on!!
Nearly forgot to make an entry again
Today I managed to do the following:
Anyway, huge thanks to @NicoleIsEnough さん for creating this thread: 小川未明童話集 - Ogawa Mimei’s Collection of Children’s Stories (Beginner Book Club)
Today was very productive in some aspects and not so productive in others:
Felt very weak all day, so didn’t do as much as I hoped…
I agree with @Slooshy, you are doing an amazing amount of work every day 
I hope that you are feeling ok 
.
For a self proclaimed ‘clumsy cat’ you’ve raised the bar an awful lot! Go you!!
Another day very productive in some aspects and not-so-productive in others:
). Started reading the fourth and final chapter of the first volume - reached page 150.Unfortunately, right now I’m too tired to do anything else; also, it’s quite late, so I think I’ll call it a day.
