Hello Khazumoto,

although it’s the first lesson, yesterday I finished your free course made of 101 lessons. That’s a great stuff indeed.

Unfortunately there are two errors in this course.

It happened twice that I got two the same lessons instead of a new one.

First such a lesson was 90. It was not a new lesson but it was lesson 89.

Second time it was a lesson 97. It was not a new lesson but it was the previous one, 96.

So I want to ask you for sending me two links to the proper lessons, 90 and 97! Is it possible?

honestly, I never really think about using flashcards I just do it in 1-2min bursts whenever I have a small amount of free time (mostly on the toilet) LOL

[…] The big, central goal, the sun around which our actions presumably orbit, can overwhelm and disorient us with its size and power and magnitude. We wonder, rightfully, “how could we possibly get there from here?!”. It’s just too much to take in. Our minds, our bodies, cannot process it, cannot fathom it. We reel at the mere idea and coil up like a little centipede; we seek refuge in mindless TV, cigarettes and alcohol, because — despite their concomitant disadvantages — these escapes are so doable. They make sense. We can win at them. […]

Great post and interesting thoughts. The use of games or game-like abilities when doing "real stuff" is a huge interest of mine. :) Are you familiar with Jane McGonigal and her "Reality is Broken"? She's a director at Institute for the Future and is specialised in the usage of games in this way, to become better, more effective or to overcome certain problems. I really recommend the book (I do think you'll like it, considering the post above :) ). I wrote a short post about her thoughts here: http://better-reality-games.com/the-reality-is-broken-and-how-i-took-mine-to-service-it-is-not-quite-finished-yet/ And she held a TED lecture about how gaming can make the world a better place: http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world.html Enjoy! :)
