I went through two chapters of Simply Scheme and posted my answers and analysis:

I reviewed the brief list of goals for my Scheme project I wrote in my first post:

Practice overall learning methodology stuff like writing thorough explanations, brainstorming, using trees, and going step by step.
Review previous learning efforts of mine, along with other people’s learning efforts, and compare and contrast, reflecting on differences, mistakes I made, things I can do better, etc.
Gain some subject-matter specific knowledge I can build on for later learning efforts and ultimately for some specific projects that I’d like to work on.
Avoid getting stuck, and work on quickly and successfully getting unstuck if I do get stuck.

I judged myself to be doing extremely well on 1 and 2, fine on 3. Still have trouble with 4 although I haven't gotten permanently stuck and experienced project failure, which itself represents progress, so that's something.

With regards to 2, I find it extremely fruitful to find one high quality answer from a skilled person and analyze it. Sorting out someone else's confused messy program is much less fruitful.

I read a tiny bit of Reisman's Capitalism.

I did some short private writing about some issues I'm having that I might share privately.

Oh and I started listening to the first book in the Witcher series, because I enjoyed the TV show and that got me back into the world (I previously played The Witcher 2 and 3 and enjoyed them)
