How to make "long" into "short" and come up with the same result~
Due to me doing AJATT I am currently learning all the Kanji - writing and German meaning only, for the readings will come up with the 2nd round. However, I was ways to lazy the last months and I could´ve finished during summer holidays - well... but I didn´t. Now I calculated that if I did 25 per day, I should have finished with them ...2 days before Christmas - or something like that, but pretty close to this date. Good and fine - now why don´t I just do that? Because learning 25 Kanji seems like loads when you still have 25 to go. In the end I always think "...and I was complaining about this? Dude, that was like nothing!" I just tend to don´t want to start when I have so much to do - because it seems discouraging even before I started - and then I end up with having done absolutely nothing all the day long... which leads me to frustration... So what to do? I personally divide my kanji amount in little pieces. On days where I have much time I do 5 per hour... or sometimes even 3 per hour :D That´s a quick thing taking 3-8 minutes (depending on how much strokes each of the kanji have, or if there´s one where you need a bit longer to come up with a story), I don´t have any problems starting and at the end of the day I still have my 25 (sometimes even more!)- True Story. Today is a cool day- I would have enough time to even split them up to 2 per hour - on the other hand...thursday is my long day at school and there I´ll go for 7, or 8 per hour. But hey - in my ears it still sounds better than 25 in a row. I don´t know if this is just working for me - but I wanted to share my technique - maybe it´s a lil help for some of you out there? Oh, look at tha watch - perfect timing. Dear 5 Kanji - HERE I COME!!
