As for the 100 vocabs, they aren't that much of a problem, since I don't have to know them by heart in one single session. The great thing about the Leitner system is, that you can add new cards on a daily basis without getting overwhelmed with unnecessary repetition. I also didn't have to write the index cards, since I have a couple hundred I wrote some time ago.

Regarding blender, I wanted to make a scene where some wine is pouring into a glass, however the whine always leaked from the glass, so I can only show you one of my earlier tries:

So here's my list for day 2:
  1. get old exams for practice
  2. hit the gym
  3. work at least three hours on biology project
  4. learn biology for at least two hours
  5. practice shorthand for 30 min
  6. program my learning card index with 100 new vocabs
  7. draw for one hour
  8. make a new list of goals
Keep it up! After a few successful days you prove to yourself that you can do it and that it is actually fun. I've had bouts with self-discipline in the past and often find that these 7 day, 10 day, 30 day etc. experiments are good to learn how you work best and how you can be productive.
