Unfortunately, unlike Week 254 and 255, this past week was very unproductive for me. 😔 I only made it through three videos on KA and had to go back and rewatch all three vids multiple times.

I’m happy to say I had another productive week on KA! Having two productive weeks in a row feels pretty good and I’m hopeful I’ll be able to keep this momentum, going forward.

I also didn’t watch any videos from the Steve Brunton playlist I talked about in my last two posts. So… Read More Week 252 – Five Questions, Four Correct, and Another Difficult Week
