 The Gold-list Goldilocks method as it stands:

Take last month's sheet. Start with the Māori side. Look at the first sentence or phrase. If its meaning is immediately obvious, mark that line with an 'x'. Do the same for the English version overleaf. Such text snippets will not be carried forth.

If much of the sentence/phrase (but not 100% of it) is able to be understood and allows you to locate the English version overleaf, then that text item is marked with a tick. It is carried forward for the following month.

If it is at all difficult to match corresponding texts, then those are also discarded. Similarly for obstinate words or grammatical points.

Today's refinement will be to place 'riper' language nearer the top of the sheet, and slow-to-ripe language nearer the bottom. Also top-up phrases.
