well I managed 184hrs but needed something to keep me focused and am chaotic with the listening/reading. Wasn't sure if it should be 150+ hrs or 200+hrs

The 200+ is a big jump, but at 185, you came way close. I stopped counting after 120 something I think. Maybe I will see how much I get. If we can make that 200+ we can maybe get Lanelle to add it for next year. 😉🤓
