Why I started
Consistency.
Discipline.
Hard work.
As a teacher, it is easy to tell somebody else that improvement comes from practice. Keep turning up. Do the difficult thing again. Accept that progress is usually accumulated rather than sudden.
At some point I thought: am I actually following my own advice?
So I started keeping score — not of appearance, but of work. Seeing one of my students consistently turn up and put the effort in further inspired me to keep doing the same myself. By 17 October 2026, I had completed 479 blocks of 300 — 143,700 repetitions since November 2023. The live counter above keeps the total up to date, one block at a time.
