The black band party today was pretty neat, glad I got to attend! I managed to get my anki in and finished up another chapter in my python book, practice problems come next!Marcus' i+1 Journal
Trying for 100 cards in anki will be tricky with my current decks, but hopefully as I add easier cards it will get less tricky as time goes on. I did manage to get a good number reviewed and added while in the i+1 room for 1 hour already, so that is definitely a good thing. Now with any luck I will find that my pup did not eat something he should not have and give himself a bowel obstruction.
Another pretty good session, was in the i+1 room for 1.5 hours and got in more than 100 reviewed and some cards added. I have been gradually trying to re-do one or two really complex cards each time I review recently. It may be slow going, but a little here and there will eventually get done. I would really appreciate the assistance with tackling some of these cards, as several of them have given me quite a bit of trouble and I could definitely use some help on them!
"It may be slow going, but a little here and there will eventually get done." If someone ever gets confused by the i+1 philosophy, show them this phrase! It's like reductionism squared. Baby steps, in the right direction, KNOWING you will eventually get it done! Love how you phrased that.Marcus wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 7:54 pm Another pretty good session, was in the i+1 room for 1.5 hours and got in more than 100 reviewed and some cards added.

I really think thats why it works so well - its all a mental game. Forgive your i-1, Be with your i, Grow to i+1. Relax and know that it will get done as long as you take one step forward today!
Also 100% agreed about the i+1 room, I am loving it!
Not the greatest day in terms of productivity today, I ended up having to give my pup a bath as a result of his muscle relaxants, then when I did get some sleep I was awoken way too soon and ended up falling back asleep and missing almost the entire day. I guess I even typed out some messages, but have no recollection. Regardless though, I got my 100 cards in along with 1 hour in the i+1 room, so at least it wasn't a complete loss.
Its these days though that toughen your character... ESPECIALLY that you made i+1 moves forward in spite of it all. Very cool!Marcus wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 5:47 am Not the greatest day in terms of productivity today, I ended up having to give my pup a bath as a result of his muscle relaxants, then when I did get some sleep I was awoken way too soon and ended up falling back asleep and missing almost the entire day.

Was just with M+S in the i+1 Room, is definitely a huge help to WATCH them study the Python deck, to be able to give feedback (if I am around) in live time. Its almost like a flipped classroom but being at home studying WITH them! Not to mention it makes me want to study Python...
Sure we aren't at your level and its going to be a slow pace as we tediously cover every basic point before moving on, but hopefully with all that extra practice it really sticks this time! (Since I have "learned" so much different programming syntax in various languages over the years but never to the mastery degree of say Spanish or Chemistry).
Also, I have been editing around some code from GitHub which is a programmable Pomodoro Timer https://www.acaexplorers.com/explorers/timer/ I think we could work this into the i+1 Room, Gold, etc. and it would also be a cool thing to offer use for us as Life Coaches, for ourselves and our students! I say Pomodoro because that is the standard, but I definitely want to play around with other ratios and really find some kind of principle we can use that isnt as random as just 25:5 without rhyme or reason.
