I have gotten through the entire LEED reference guide at this point, cover to cover.  That may not sound impressive to most, but it is a 422 (8.5"x11") pg. behemoth of a book.  However, I feel no more prepared for the test than I did before I cracked it.  

The bottom line is that this test is going to require a ton of rote memorization, you know, the kind that you sneeze and half is gone the minute you walk out of the exam center . . .

Flash cards, notes review, and practice tests here I come.  Only two & a half weeks to go.

After a few months of studying, I passed the LEED AP exam this past Monday. 

For the those who have no clue what the heck that is, LEED AP stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Accreditted Professional.  Simply put, it means that I am now professionally accreditted by the US Green Building Council in the area of green/sustainable building practices. 

This "Studying" habit profile was the first one I tracked from start to completion, which made me realize:  Not all good habits are endless (like recycling, smiling, or relaxing).  Some good habits are meant to have a finite lifecycle. 

I will no longer be studying anymore (except of course being a student of life...yes I'm a nerd) because I no longer have a reason to study.  So, I realized that these habit profiles should be archivable.  Otherwise, I would have to either:

• let my Time Tracker keep running - which would misrepresent the amount of time I've been practicing the new habit, or
  
• delete the habit profile altogether - which would make it impossible for those struggling with studying to find me

To fix this oversight, I will be adding an "archive" function to everyones' Edit Habits page over the next week or so.  It will stop your Time Tracker, but will still allow your experience to be sought by other members.  I hope you agree that this feature will improve the helpfulness of the site.
