Why This Month Is The Most Important! - Kal Di - 02-05-2022
Many people say their new year will be different and start making progress towards their goal. January is an important month, but it isn't the most important!

I got through Calculus, which was my major goal for the year. I applied for graduation before I completed the course so I had to finish. lol.
For me what has worked is when I have a goal I do try to break it down into individual steps. I also try and assign some time commitment to reach my goal before I give up. Usually, the time is at least 20hrs.
So for example using the 3 M's for learning Spanish.
Minium goal:
Where I want to be in 2 hours. (learn the alphabet and basic sounds)
Moderate:
Where I want to be in 8 hours. (learn basic grammar)
Max:
Where I want to be in 20 hours. (learn top 100 frequency words and make super basic sentences)
Then I stop, reevaluate if want to continue, and come up with another plan for the next 20 hours or so.
There is a law of diminishing returns that kicks in for planning. Usually, it's better to do something and make a bunch of mistakes than to over-plan.
Money = Freedom
How you earn, save, and invest money is important. The rich have multiple income streams so no matter what happens such as coof, nothing is going to stop them from succeeding.

Well said! I approach language learning in a similar way!
