Accountability journal

[BjarkeT]

I will use this journal to hold my self accountable for my goals it’s not fun to share your failures or excuse so my goal is to use this as a source of motivation 

my current goal is to learn music theory grade 1-8 currently at the end of grade 2 deadline is March 31 how ever I will likely still continue if I miss the deadline

i will try to report any success or failures to keep me accountable 

Current goal:

1: Finish music theory grade 1-8 dead line march 31 if I don’t make it I owe my dad $76 because loss aversion should be a great motivater as well.

How i am learning:

Explain concept outloud to spot my misunderstanding as if it was to someone who is five years old

Question book method to check my recalling ability 

Purposeful practice to get better

Distributed practice or spaced repetition for better chance of recalling

Practice testing or quizzes from the books

focus intensely in a room free of any computers or other kind of distractions  

2: Being able to play solfeggietto By Ph. E.Bach on piano fluently.(no deadlines yet)

How i am learning: 

Practice where i get things wrong

very deliberate and out side my comfortzone

lots of repetition.

Feedback from my teacher.

study the sheet music very closely. 

3: Break the world record in juggling two balls with one hand world record is currently 13 minuts and my own record is about one minut my goal is to be able to juggle for a half hour.

How i am learning:

basically the same as the piano piece but without a teacher.

as leonardo da vinci said poor is the student who does not surpass the master.
