Name the project after an interest, not a level
“Japanese architecture interviews” is more alive than “B1 Study”. A topic gives you a reason to return even on a day when you do not feel like studying.
Add videos slowly
A Project is not a queue to finish. Add a video when it belongs to the question or world you are exploring. Three strong videos with notes are more useful than fifty untouched links.
Let repeated language reveal itself
Across related videos, the same phrases, technical words and conversational patterns begin to return. Save them when they appear naturally. Repetition across real contexts is one reason a topic-based project becomes easier over time.
Keep one note for content and one for language
A video can teach you two things at once. Write what you learned about the subject, then keep one phrase or sentence that taught you something about the language. Curiosity and language stay connected.
Revisit before searching for something new
Before adding another link, open one saved video and replay two moments. Your archive becomes valuable through return, not through volume.
Let the project become a record of attention
After a few months, the project shows more than what you watched. It shows what you noticed, what you learned to hear, which ideas kept returning and how your understanding changed. That is progress worth keeping.
