    • World: Can add 50 words, so let’s increase it
    • CCC: Need to adjust to increase the sense of contribution, merge with Caltech
      • Well, this is also a contribution like demystify, so as long as we can merge it, it’s fine
    • Fog of the World: Only written 150 words, quite dangerous, should focus on it
    • Scrapbox: This might be the toughest, should I reduce 650 to 350?
      • Well, maybe I can just merge the good parts of CommonApp into the existing 350
      • If I use my time well, I should be able to finish it properly
