April 17, 2020 – Day 21

Started the day wrong,, was initially making index card reviewers starting from the first lesson of chemistry up to the latest one. DON’T GET ME WRONG: there’s nothing wrong with making a reviewer, but I realized after 3 HOURS of doing it that it was just an excuse of mine to get off of reviewing. Though hard, I pushed myself to stop writing & proceeded to reviewing right away.

Since I started my review session the wrong way, I was motivated to focus and finish at least 2 of my target lessons for the day. Fortunately, I was able to finish it. I devised a schedule plan which is inspired by a senior now studying in UP. I don’t know her personally, but she still entertains questions regarding CETs so I took the chance. Starting tomorrow, I’ll do my best to follow this schedule:

So far,,, this is the progress I made since I started reviewing:
