Not just languages. Because they work so well. |

First, set small, measurable goals. Chigusa, most people typically aim for a vague resolution like “This year, I’ll master Japanese or this year I’ll get in shape.” |

For example, for January 2021, I’m learning Russian, my goal is to speak 1 minute of conversation by the deadline of January 31st, 2021. |

You can’t lift hundreds of pounds on your first day at the gym... |

I have a bit of a busy life - family life, work life... there are many things going on so I have to find space for positive routines to exist. I’ll repeat that. I have to find the spaces for these positive routines to exist because the routine and my daily life is so busy, much like... Chigusa... I think your daily life is pretty busy, right? | 
                                                                
                                                                            | Chigusa: Mm hmm. | 
                                                                
                                                                            | Peter: So finding space. So my first month, I aim for 1 month to see where I can fit the study time in. February, I’ll aim for 3 minutes. March will be 5. And these will add up, so by the end of the year, I’ll try to reach 30 minutes of conversation. | 
                                                                
                                                                            | Chigusa: That makes a lot of sense. | 
                                                                
                                                                            | Peter: So, Listeners, start setting small, monthly goals with a deadline. | 
                                                                
                                                                            | Chigusa: Are there any other tips you can give to our listeners for 2021? | 
                                                                
                                                                            | Peter: Write down a small, measurable goal, set a deadline, and put it somewhere you’ll see it every day. Actually, digital kind of works nice too, you can put it on notes, or email yourself - email reminder - and if you’re really, really brave, you can announce it on a social media challenge but this is always a mixed result. Sometimes it can be motivational and sometimes it can be demotivational. So, again, maybe 2nd month, once you get a little bit of success under your belt. I like to see if I can get that 1 month under my belt. We talk about that in a different lesson but that’s ... a little bit of a higher level tactic. Where you can see it every day might sound strange, but believe it or not, it keeps you focused. |

Especially in this digital day and age where it’s so easy to get distracted when you’re sitting in front of a computer. It works. So, listeners, take these tips and apply them right now. |
