Excuses are for weaklings. You can find a few free minutes right now.
There are many opportunities for education today. But we put off studying a foreign language, preparing for entering a university, playing sports, hoping that someday we will be able to allocate a separate time for this. Now, this moment may never come. All that remains to be done is to seek the opportunity right now. For example, use the 15 minute rule.
Start small
It seems like it takes a very long time to learn a foreign language. But try starting with 15 minutes a day - after breakfast, during a break at work, on transport, or before bed.
What will it give? Even if you study 15 minutes a day, you will spend 91 hours a year. And this is not so little. Of course, you will not be able to learn the language in this time or become a marathon runner. But just such a start will help to overcome the psychological barrier and laziness, which does not allow us to move towards new goals.
Determine your chronotype
Where exactly can I get these 15 minutes? First, understand what time you are most active: morning, afternoon or evening. It is during this period that you start classes.
Combine or replace processes
If at work you have no opportunity to interrupt, pay attention to the time when you get to the office or home. Why not combine a subway or bus ride with some study?
Analyze what you do in your free time after a hard day. Are you on social media or watching TV? If you are not ready to give up habits (although your brain doesn’t really rest during these activities), shorten the time by devoting the last 15-30 minutes to a useful activity.
Create measurable goals
It will not work aimlessly. One day you will get bored with it, and you will give up what you started. Set yourself specific goals that you can measure. For example:
- what you should learn this week and what next;
- what do you want to be able to do in a month;
- what should come as a result of classes.
Dream, write, and start implementing your own plan.
Choose the right methods
Exercise in a way that makes you enjoy it. Read, watch movies, listen to podcasts, or solve problems. If you hate to cram new words, memorize sentences or phrases from your favorite books, songs, films. Want to master Photoshop? Think of a birthday present for a friend or relative in the form of your work with their photographs.
Just 15 minutes a day will change your life, and you can come to what you have dreamed of for so long. One has only to start.
