Learning Targets

It's the start of a new week, I have a new plan, and I am optimistic.

Over the weekend, in a conversation with my family, I decided to set some more concrete goals for my education. Because pacing results is difficult--each "class" would need a unique set of hard-to-quantify goals--I'm going to try using time goals instead. This week, I am going to log my hours invested into different learning activities and aim to meet the following targets:

AI: 4 hours (all class or study time)
French: 4 hours (includes class time when they are running)
Toastmasters: 2 hours (1 hour preparation, 1 hour participation)
Writing: 4 hours (must be professional blog or fiction)
Game: 4 hours (can include meetings, learning to use Unity, etc.)
Yoga/Meditation: 5 hours (can include work on starting the business)

Total: 23 hours (not intentional, I swear)
Daily: 4.6 hours

Twenty hours is a totally reasonable target. Some people would argue it's too low. But I want to start this new program with some success, and I ought to be able to hit all of these. I may not, but at least I'll be able to see exactly how much I'm failing by. This also gives me some room for chores, errands, etc.
