I set alarms for a few target tasks, and using those as a guide, I&#8217;m making adjustments to my activities based on my circumstances at the time. As usual it worked decently the first couple of days, so we\u2019ll see how it holds up.<\/p>\n<h2>Math<\/h2>\n<p><span role=\"img\" aria-label=\"\ud83e\udd14\">\ud83e\udd14<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I got through studying the textbook&#8217;s first section.<\/strong> Unbelievably slow progress, but hopefully it&#8217;ll go faster if my time management keeps up. I also had to work out the details of getting notes from Google Sheets into Anki.\u00a0From this first section I found that learning flashcards for complex material is difficult but doable. Also taking notes was slow, so I\u2019ll be looking at how to speed that up. It seems this project is as much about learning how to study as it is about learning math.<\/p>\n<h2>Nature<\/h2>\n<p><span role=\"img\" aria-label=\"\ud83e\uddd0\">\ud83e\uddd0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>A skunk joined me on my walk.<\/strong> It was late at night, so I was on the lookout for them.
