I completed Lesson 1 and the 250 Box Challenge and started on Lesson 2 and ended up burning out about nine months ago. Now I'm picking this up again and trying to figure out the best way to start again.

My current idea is to blow through Lesson 0, reread/re-watch Lesson 1 and partly do the homework, draw a chunk of boxes and then Lesson 2 over from the start.

So what I'm wondering is if people think that's a good approach or if they have other advice. I submitted my Lesson 1 and 250 box challenge for paid critique back then, so I also want to make sure when I submit Lesson 2 for a paid critique that it doesn't get rejected for some reason like this. Thanks!

Your plan is exactly what I would recommend. Go back to the beginning in terms of reviewing the material, revisit the exercises more as part of longer warmups, then jump back in with Lesson 2.
