day 1/29

i already did 100 days of productivity so i'm just gonna move to monthly challenges now. i haven't seen any february study challenges with prompts and stuff and i'm not creative enough to come up with my own so it's still gonna be a productivity challenge but if i see any prompts i like i might start using them
