Background info:
I've been studying programming on and off since 2022.
Since December 2023 I use an app to track how much I study. My best monthly performances so far have been:
57,52 hours - Sept 2024
53,02 hours - Dec 2023
49,93 hours - Apr 2024
My average studying time in the tracked period is: 35,38 hours a month.
I did not study every day.
On days in which I did study my average studying time per day was: 2,21 h.
In the tracked period I studied on 188 out of 351 days.
On my top 3 days with most studying I studied for:
5,62 h
5,40 h
5, 32 h
Now I want to shift into a higher gear and study at least 4 hours per day, 6 day per week, as there is potential programming job I might start in January 2025.
If I do according to my plan, I'll surpass 156 hours of additional studying, counting from today. I hope this wager will help motivate me and keep me focused.
I will bet 300 mana on YES option to keep me motivated, and I won't bet more after that. I will not trade it or sell it. If I fail, I'll take the loss.
I'll resolve it no later than January 1st 2025.
I might resolve it earlier if I do 156 hours of programming earlier (as YES), or if it becomes physically or practically impossible to complete this goal (as NO).
I'll keep you updated about my progress.
Progress so far 31,10 / 156h (19.93%)
Day 31: 18/12/2024: studied 1.05h, total 31,10 / 156h (19.93%)
I had some distractions in the previous days, and I also took a break between 2 courses, so it meant that from day 13 to day 31 I studied only 11,17h.
At this point it seems extremely unlikely I'll reach this goal. But I'll still try to improve my percentage.
