Sounds like you’ve made good progress! That matters more than updating at the right time, I think. 🙂 加油 for milestone 2!

Pre-challenge~
Words learned: 3695
My milestones for the next 101 days:

Milestone #1 (April 8th):+364 words = 4059 words
Milestone #2 (April 30th): +667 words = 4362 words
Milestone #3 (May 31st): +970 words = 4665 words
End of Challenge (June 30th): +1212 words = 4907 words

Have you reached your goal for the first milestone?
I did not reach my goal for the first milestone according to the generic percentage benchmarks, however I have reached (and slightly exceeded) my first milestone according to my stated goal of learning 12 new words each and every day of the challenge.

What (if anything) are you going to change?
The only change I will be making is to start using the skritter android version on the go to try to get a few more reviews in here and there. Otherwise, I plan to keep learning new words and characters, and most importantly, to continue making steady and consistent progress.

What have you learnt by participating in the challenge?
I will continue to treat intrinsic motivation as primary and essential, but a little bit of extrinsic motivation is certainly helpful, particularly when that motivation includes other people working on the same challenge. I wouldn’t consider this new knowledge, but I certainly have internalized it better than before.

And, in case you were curious, since the start of the challenge the six people currently in the group have studied a combined total of 87.875 hours on Skritter. CRAZY!
