I changed your wording from "studied" to "studying" :) Also, you need to set the minimum for your second goal. it can be anything - even 1 minute haha. you can also count the pages or chapters, whatever works for you.

	Looks like a lot of people with ambitious schedules. LIke most people who works during the day, have to trim my schedule down. The language I'm learning currently is French. Day 1: go through video series learn French with Victor Day 2: Finish the Chinese language TV drama series 企鵝爸爸 Daddy at Home from Singapore. Day 3: French movie La Cage aux Folles with English subtitles. The problems of trying to tackle too many languages at a time is that you don't get enough or constant exposure on 1 before moving to the next. Right now my Chinese is a strong language and therefore would have to put it aside for a week or 2 until French starts to catch up.

	I have a little problem with my "read 1 chapter of Dood Tij by Pieter Aspe". I've finished the book! And have started reading another one by the same author. It's called Zoenoffer. Can I just change the name because it is still a detective story, by the same author? Or have I got to start from scratch and call the other challenge completed? 1 person has voted this message useful

That's because Teh List should be always easily findable, and not buried on the previous page under a discussion of goals. Anyway, yes, you can definitely continue the same goal, at least if you're continuing without taking a break. But it's kinda time to decide how broad your goal will be - are you going to read more books by the same author? Also, have you checked whether the chapter division is similar to the previous book? ie are the chapters roughly the same length as in the previous book? Or if not, are you fine with the difference? 1 person has voted this message useful
