It’s been a year that I have been writing monthly reviews now. I have come a long way. The small things which I have been doing every month added up to something big. I finished French on Duolingo, reached a plateau on Elevate, read a lot of books, writing challenges, watched interesting courses on various sites, experimented with different exercises, made changes to the way I am as a person. It has been a wonderful journey. None of this would have been possible without the monthly planning. I have longer way to go.<\/span>

Review of March:<\/span><\/h2>\n

 
\n1.Reading books:<\/b>
\n 
\nI was not able to read all the list but I read close to 7 books. Each book gave the same message in a different style. If I have to summarize it all, you reap what you sow. You create your reality with your thoughts. Choose your thoughts carefully and move towards staying positive.<\/span>
\n 
\n2.Exercise<\/b>
\n 
\nI haven’t made much progress in exercising. The awesome part was my knee pain has not come back after doing squats.<\/span>
\n 
\n3.Writing<\/b>
\n 
\nI wrote a couple of book reviews. Apart from that I was busy writing for my book. So I couldn’t concentrate much on blogging.<\/span>
\n 
\n4.Courses<\/b>
\n 
\nAll I could complete was development psychology on edx and a bit of introduction to psychology on coursera. Also, even though it was not a part of the plan, I thoroughly enjoyed the course on positive psychology on coursera.<\/span>
\n 
\n5.Assignments<\/b>
\n 
\nI made a lot of progress on my assignments. I wrote enough to exhaust the ink in the pen. Thankfully the last day got extended and hoping to finish the remaining in next two weeks.<\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

Plans for April:<\/span><\/h1>\n

 
\n1.Publish book<\/b>
\n 
\nIt is a very ambitious plan to publish a book in around a month that too when I am doing it for the first time. But I wanted a challenge which will be really challenging. I am hoping to at least finish writing if not publishing. But I don’t see anything wrong in being over ambitious about publishing either.<\/span>
\n 
\n2.Finish assignments<\/b>
\n 
\nI have no other choice than to finish them this month. I need to be more serious about this than last month.<\/span>
\n 
\n3.Books<\/b>
\n 
\nI need to focus more on my text books than on other books. I am targeting to finish at least half the syllabus this month. One chapter a day will also be good enough progress. I will make use of my morning commute time for this.<\/span>
\n 
\n4.Courses<\/b>
\n 
\nSince I could do only 2 courses last month, hoping to do the remaining this month. Learning through multiple modes reinforces learning and also acts as revision.<\/span>
\n 
\nThere are not too many plans for this month because the few ones which I have chosen are by themselves demanding, challenging and time consuming.<\/span>
\n 
\nHow was your March? What are your plans for April?<\/span>
\n 
\nHappy April!<\/span>
