I've created my own blog, and joined a community I was previously only a wallflower in. And just now, I'm going to predict how much this will help my study habits and general mental health.

calculating... ... Studies will increase in pacing slightly, and become more consistent. Mental health will go up by around half-again, and slightly stabilize.

This is a good thing, and considering my confidence on what in particular I am working on (my approach to willpower preservation, and solidifying my grasp of the sequences), I doubt the increase along these dimensions will be a once-off thing. Hopefully I'll see a climb over time. Now that I've moved into a bigger pond I feel rather small, though not intimidated.
