Project 2 X 2
Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on 19th November 2008
Again the trend continues with my dismal performance in regards to my studying. Last night I only logged 41min:24sec of study time. That’s disappointing especially when I purposedly blocked two hours just for reviewing more OSPF concepts. In the end my wife found me at 1am asleep on my chair. She keeps telling me it’s because I bought that darn extra puffy executive chair. I couldn’t resist. It swivels, it rocks and it goes up & down and round & round 
.
Anyway, I know I can do better than that. Today I’m ending my baselining project and shoot for a new goal. So today I’ll start the first of a series of mini goals that I will impose on myself on a semi regular basis in an effort to keep my feet moving and get closer and closer to the bigger price. The bigger price being passing the BSCI exam.
For my first challenge, I call it “project 2 by 2″. It’s simple really. For the next two days I will study 2 hours each day. That’s it. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure I log in two hours of cumulative studying each day. I may take 30 minute increments each study sessions. Or I may do smaller 15 minute sessions spread throughout. Or… I can just do two straight hours. However, judging by my performance the last few days, the latter option seems unlikely. It doesn’t matter. The goal is to get two hours of solid studying.
That should keep me feeling good and accomplished before the weekend start. I won’t have the opportunity to study again until next week because I will be leaving for a two and half days of spiritual retreat with my wife. I wish it was the kind of retreat that I can take advantage to decompress but I won’t actually be a “participant” in the retreat. I volunteered to staff for the weekend, taking care of the music for all their activities. And my wife volunteered to cook. I’m getting hungry already . It should be fun but I know it will be very tiring.
