| I took the test and think I actually passed despite failing to meet my expectations of myself for studying each day. We’ll see in 30 days if I did actually pass or not but I feel like this was a milestone in my Chinese learning and am proud of myself for the work I have done up to this point. I am determined to be more disciplined and create even better daily habits of learning going forward with new milestones that are very clear. | |

| I did a chapter a day of prep this week. I’m not done with my book yet though. I have till Saturday to prepare for the test. We’ll see how I did. At least I am working hard this week. If I was working as hard each day these past 9weeks as I am now I would have passed no problem. | |

I failed he specific goal again. It’s obvious something has been off in my approach and I’ve noticed various things. 1. I wasn’t organize enough and diligent in the way I spent my time studying Why? Partly because if a lack of a consistent schedule. I’ve been working on some self improvement type projects and letting them take up more time than needed (maybe) but some I believe are going to get me some good results. Also, I have been trying to meet Chinese Chan Buddhist practitioners and now that I have I am being invited to various events that take up extra time and attention. I told myself I would do flash cards on the metro but I found my flash cards can be too complicated. 李睿贤 has been helping me simplify my life or at least giving suggestions. I need to get a good nights sleep, don’t rush, but go through a short and simple routine in the morning to get me up, stretched and mindful. Then I want to journal about what I am grateful for and how I will make the day great. Then I need to remember my WHY in life. Clearly and simply. If I repeat it enough then it will be completely natural and I can just live moment to moment with the destination in mind as life’s stream carries me. 2. I am too hard on myself. I need to treat myself as my best friend but my standards are so high it is easy to feel worthless when you can’t seem to remember a word. Anyways, I am going to definite my WHY into one sentence by looking at my last and then I am going to define how to get there and what steps to take. One step will be de-clutter and simplify rather than complicated. |

| Sadly I had another slow week of study. My time management and focus have been poor. I think that’s the biggest problem so far. I need to put doing the work as my first priority. Give myself a set period of time that I am going to use to accomplish the work that I need to do for a given day and then don’t do another activity until I finish it and minimize distractions while I work. I need to just turn off my phone or, if I need to use the phone or iPad, I need to turn on Do Not Disturb so I can be productive. I have no time to waste if I want to get through all the 20 chapters of my book before the 3/23 exam. It might already be impossible to finish on time, but I still will aim to complete 1 chapter a day. I want to complete the work in the morning and or early afternoon and then in the evening I can learn the words and grammar for the next chapter. Also, my intention should be to use my new words and grammar points to write and say my own sentences throughout the day so I am reinforcing my learning as much as possible. I also need to avoid distractions like watching any sort of videos in English or reading anything written in English that isn’t necessary for me to do (ex. work, taxes). texting should be in Chinese whenever possible. Keep looking up words to a minimum because it takes a lot of time and use English only as a last resort to communicate something essential. | |
