Series Seeing Scheme

777


I've seldom managed to make private studies through schemes, just making exciting schemes, not really follow them. Nevertheless, I'm as deeply rooted in routines as any other human being. So instead of getting stucked into one or two themes over intense periods of time, I now try to put my compassion into really seeing certain things on certain days, having faith in that they will soon naturally returning.

And these latest weeks I've succeeded! Maybe just since I'm more eager to create a structure this summer, but probably also because this scheme possesses a good balance between simpleness and variation?! With different "orbit time" for each object to return... in order to avoid the static being boring. And the best thing is that it's not forbidden to see even more episodes, as long as I see at least one on that planned day.

Maybe I will try similar 3-week-loopes on more studying fields, with kinds of movie watching, with kinds of music listening and kinds of book reading. Until then here are those series I continue to follow right now. And when some finally is "ready", there shows up the delicate task of finding or refinding next series, to fill the same elapse of time... Some says it takes 21 days to create a strong habit.
