How to learn 2000 kanji
It took me
2 years
It made me
Trilingual

How I did it: I made a plan to learn a certain number of new kanji everyday plus some compound words and revieweverything with SRS (spaced repetition system) everday as well.That didn't really happened until the second year though. The first of the two years it took me I learned only about 100 kanji. But when I realized my insanely slow speed would take me about 10 years to get to 2000 I made the above plan and stuck to 5 kanji every day for half a yea… Read how I did it…

3 months
It made me
Happy

How I did it: Except from when I was sick I have been reading several books a month for a while now. It's been easy because I'm an indoor person and I love to read:) Also, when you borrow a book from the library, I think it's a bit reckless coming back with it after a month having not read it; you keep others from reading it, and you wear it out.

Overcome my eating disorder. (read all 11 entries…)
Untitled

A running injury stopped me from running. Running made me be careful to eat enough so I could perform well. Contrary to many with eating disorders I never over-exercised, I was a pure restricting anorectic. Working out actually aids me in my recovery. Now when I can’t focus on running my focus shifts back to restricting. It’s very hard not to act upon these recent but oh so familiar thoughts. I don’t want to elaborate on them because everyone that has had an eating disorder pretty much know how it goes.

I understand now that why the average time it takes to recover from an ED is seven years.
