985 || it's not a chore

JULIE MERICA
About this episode

KEY is repetition and regularity.

habit forming is about focus, not time 

Aim to reliably trigger new desired behavior so it becomes second nature. Anchor it to an established habit.


here is some some advice from Matthew Youlden, a polyglot who speaks nine languages:


 Don’t isolate your study of the language from the rest of your life — you’re not learning Spanish in order to talk about learning Spanish. Instead, think of Spanish as a new way to experience your everyday life: Change the display language on your computer to Spanish, find Spanish-language movies and TV shows to watch (with Spanish subtitles, not English), get your news or celebrity gossip fix from Spanish-language websites, check out Spanish-language podcasts and youtube videos on topics that already interest you. If you use Spanish to do things that you’d be doing anyway, studying daily will become an automatic reflex instead of a dreaded chore.
