250 Box Challenge
5:37 PM, Wednesday April 28th 2021
Well, this was an interesting one.
Was really hard to get going both physically (getting used to using the shoulder) and mentally (getting frustrated at how even I can't do a proper straight line with a ruler) but with time I got into it and actually started to enjoy doing 5-6 pages per day.
Used the suggested tool on the 250 boxes exercises page for my first 100 boxes.
Here's what I reported as I was doing them:
43-48 more confident/OK with mistakes
55-60 think im getting it slowly
79-84 think i'm finally understanding what is done wrong and am able to slowly make adjustments to it
126-130 halfway into this makes seeing inconsistency really frustrating especially if it's the same thing over again and you know what's the reason
131 - 136 it's like I'm close but no cigar
167 - 172 noticed that I connect one dot to another most of the time. do need to fix how the lines are inside the box
215-220 still not rid of this inconsistency. guess this will come with lots more practice but most importantly time
Finishing reaction: "Well, there has definitely been improvement but extreme inconsistency makes it really hard to really notice or even admit progress. I still feel like a caveman when it comes to doing geometry.
Luckily I've noticed this practice has given me understanding of multiple things mentally. For instance, I feel like I can play Rocket League better due to these exercises giving me better spacial awareness for some reason, which is interesting!".
