Looks like you're right. I commit to working on this over the next few weeks. Please check in with me every so often (via comment here would be fine) to gauge my progress and encourage completion.

It's approximately 120 minutes of video; taking a number from wikipedia gives me 150 spoken wpm, divided by my typing wpm gives me about 6 hours, which will be optimistic - let's double it to 12, at let's say an average of 30 mins per day gives me 24 days. Let's see how it goes!

Checking in. Do you have the first 750 words done?

I have the first four, and six of the shortest answers done, so yes. I had a lot of spare time yesterday so I thought I'd get a head start. Today may be similar.

I am now roughly 60% done. I've been spending more time each day than I anticipated; I have been known to overcompensate for the planning fallacy :)
