It's been about a month since I've joined CGC and two months since I've began learning Blender, however in that time I've only done about 7-10 "doodles" and about 3 actual small projects, not including any CGC exercises. While this doesn't seem so bad in retrospect given how much available time I have, I'm planning on switching to alternating between the days that I do CGC/other courses and the days that I work on small projects so that I can do more projects as well as being able to apply what I've learned so that it sets in better.
I just thought I'd share this and I would appreciate any input as well as getting to know how you guys manage your learning and project schedule. Thank you!
