1. A week was a good amount of time for a chapter. I couldn’t finish all of the exercises, but that’s fine.
2. Reviewing, and taking my time, have been helpful.
3. Same realization, again: what seems to work for me is short, intense bursts of thinking. If I’m not focused, no amount of time makes it work. It’s all about focus.
4. Completion. Chapter 1 is done – I can go back anytime I feel like it, but I’m moving on to Chapter 2.
5. It’s my project, and I’m doing it because I want to.
