A year ago, I posted about the power of learning. Inspired by the story behind this post, I set out a goal to write Mathematica code to produce a sequence in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS: https://oeis.org/), everyday for an entire year. Today, I accomplished this mission and can confirm that committing to do something everyday for a year is a good way to learn a new skill. I'm far from being an expert in Mathematica, but I am now at a much higher level than I was year ago. My Mathematica contributions to the OEIS, as well as my integer sequences, are https://oeis.org/search?q=james+mcmahon&language=english&go=Search.
