25-minute Focus Keeper session in prep for tomorrow's Chinese class and a 25-minute Focus Keeper session last night in my personal journal. I just never found my groove this month, and I'm finally willing to accept that this has been a disaster of a challenge. Ah well! Way too many other stressful things going on at the moment. Still can't wait to publish a few essay drafts that are in the works on Journaly, but if it doesn't happen before Sunday I'm not gonna lose sleep over it!

Outline, questions, and notes from today's Chinese class on personal Notion.

Focus Keeper writing session in preparation for Chinese class on Friday.

Single Focus Keeper session writing in the Chinese diary today. Something I haven’t done since 2012. Felt good to get thoughts on paper in a no pressure environment.

Drafting some notes on character acquisition for next weeks Chinese class. Will drop the article on Journaly when finished!

Worked on editing my Journaly entry with my teacher to further improve my 《除夕快樂》entry and discuss my short poem

Class prep notes, a Journaly post, and some check-in emails with academic program admins using Skritter.

Happy 除夕/春節 y’all!

Kicking things off with a short and silly poem about learning Chinese. Had a quick chat with the in-laws about CNY dinner in our Canto-Mandarin hybrid language, and generally wrote some emails and a few posts in Chinese.
