Idk about others but I myself don't always post my updates on the same day. Today I've posted updates from the previous two days.
I actually think some mindblowing activities deserve to be counted double. Like using the expert mode at lyricstraining - it's more than just being 100% concentrated while listening to a song and reading the lyrics. Yet being 100% concentrated already counts as 100%. I myself don't do that, but I'd not judge anyone who counts that as double. I just have an "omg" tag instead. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I was just going to say what Serpent said. Some people update from previous days. Personally I would get
confused if I did that, but some people prefer it or maybe don't have a choice sometimes (can't get to a computer, etc.) I know that happened to me for a previous challenge because I was in a foreign country and didn't bring my laptop with me. Had to wait till I could go to the library.. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm impressed by all those that can spend 5+ hours per day, every day. Congrats!

It is impressive. Then again, Arguelles ranges between 12-14 hours of study per day. Watch out for the Finnish group; there are two that will try to get in 45 hours of study in just the last week of this month; high intensity is necessary for L-R. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Then yet again, Arguelles didn't have to bloody discount his hours before he told us them. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I meant no offense, just reminding doubters that it is possible to spend an insane amount
of time on language study, all while having a family and two kids, if you get up at 4am and live like a monk.

No offense taken and no offense meant. I was scratching my head out loud and got some good answers. I guess I need to sell off two of my kids, I get up at those hours or close but have to prep lunch boxes, get kids to school and work - my days of 20 hours of anything are gone. hmm, or stop posting here. Sincere congrats to all of those that can pull those hours. Motivating. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, these are good points, since all that is included to differentiate is whether one works full-time or not. As we know, having children is like having another job. I don't have children, and it's hard enough to find time for this. I commend those of you who do both.
