    Is it advised to master the Daily Challenge before marking it as completed or is it intended to move on even when the skill could see some improvement? What is Tony recommending?

    Now it really doesn’t matter here. I have heard from others that the official line was just to mark it complete if you had done your 10 minutes or more. I didn’t know this when I started and only ticked complete if I could get through it at 1x speed. So I have decided to carry on doing that because I can then see from the percentage complete each month what I achieved. No one is marking you down on this if you don’t do it “correctly” so you can use the system in the way that works well for you. If you want it as a record of the challenges you managed to get your time practicing then just tick complete once you’ve had a go. All our journeys are different but the tools are for us to use to our own benefit. Good luck Darren [Moonhare] 🤟😎🎸

    My understanding is, if you showed up and you put in the time (10 min. or so), you mark it complete.

    You can always favorite (❤) it if you really like the challenge and want to work on improving on it later. If you don’t favorite it in the month that it occurs you won’t have access to it again until the next time it comes around (8 months or so), so get in the habit of favoriting the challenges you like and want to work on.

    I usually use whatever the Monday warmup exercise is for the whole week in addition to my normal warmup. I’ll spend about 5 min. reviewing the prior day’s challenge each weekday and on the weekend review everything from the prior week. That usually makes me feel satisfied that I’ve practiced the material enough. You don’t have to, but I feel like it helps me get ready for the coming week.

    @CaptainFuture I agree with everything outlined by @guitargenie. It is more about building a strong practice routine and building on progress, not perfection.
