1000 Hrs Study Challenge

Study Artificial Intelligence for 1,000 Hours in 2025

Challenge: Study AI for 1K hrs in 2025

Current Stats:

Studied for 2 hours
On Day 1 I studied the basics of Python.
Also I started sharing the challenge progress on threads.
Edited the current Hashnode blog and made series (NLP, Computer Vision, ML-AI) for easy navigation.
Mini-achievement: Got 1,000 views in 17 hrs on my first thread post.

Studied for 5 hours
Revised the Data structure and algorithms in python
Also started making the roadmap I am going to follow. Because it felt like without having a path that goes with my current lifestyle of PhD, it would be difficult to achieve the target goal or I might accidently study a lot of irrelevant topics.

Spent 3 hours on making the Roadmap
I took reference from my M. Tech in Artificial Intelligence Course content, various research papers, various university's ongoing projects and research goals, also looked into industry projects in AI.
I divided the entire journey into 10 phases.
Ideally I would like to complete all 10 phases this year but on a practical note it might extent to the next year but atleast I have a study goal now according to this I like to study about and which will help me in the future.
I also posted the roadmap on Threads.

Spent 2 hours studying
First hour I spent on writing the Blog for previously posted roadmap on threads.
- I am going to post all the content that I create for studying on my blog so that I can use this as my knowledge repository over the years.
- Also, it will be beneficial for other people who want to study AI if the content is public.
Posted on threads about what resources I am going to use during my study challenge.

Spent 3 hours Studying
In the first hour I made a dedicated page on my Hashnode blog about the Study Challenge where I will upload my daily progress.
- I am also updating my progress on threads but I can't write much because of word limit.
Created google Drive Folder for each phase where I will be sharing the slide deck.
Worked on Mathematics

Studied for 4 hours
My supervisor gave me task to find the trending topic in my research domain, so I had to read a lot of research papers
I started making a list of papers that I was able to download and segregated them based on indexing - SCI, Scopus, Others and Conferences
Spent the entire 4 hours downloading the papers

Spent 5 hours studying
Downloaded more papers - so the current total became 80 papers
Out of 80 papers, I had 28 SCI indexed papers - I already studied 6 of them a day before.
