Day 1. 29 April - 5 hours 30 minutes
So I read somewhere that HSK 1 can be done in 40 hours... so I decided ok lets try that then.
I have minimal learning exposure -I did some Yoyo Chinese pinyin about a year ago, and one coursera lesson when i decided to learn guzheng. But 40 hours is doable so hey why not.
On the other hand I have a lot of hours... thousands... under my belt of Chinese drama. Thing is I watch it usually at 2x speed so cant pick out a lot of individual words... I may have to slow hat down now sigh.

At 4pm I started research spent about 90 minutes looking for resources, and figuring out what was required for HSK 1
- Joined discord servers, reddit groups etc
- Collected pdf's for practice
- set a game plan and updated my notion OS for learning the langauge, with resource links
- set up a new browser learning centre
- downloaded an app to use to track my time
- 45 minutes -> I then tested my vocab using an HSK list (got the numbers right and 15 other characters) - and attempted a mock HSK paper -> score 35
- 90 minutes -> Worked through a few chapters of 3 coursera courses
