As you may see, many people will be able to tell that self motivation and consistency have a lot of relation, that consistency is key to success, and there are multiple posts written about the topic. But how do you achieve it?

If you want to turn a certain activity into a habit, then consistency is the key. Research shows that after 3 weeks of consistently doing a certain thing, it starts to be much easier to do it. Our mind and body get used to it.

So let’s imagine you decide to start going to fitness (a kind of real scenario for many).

The first thing you need is motivation. Since you considered going there, you probably have a bit of it. But is it enough to last for 3 weeks and beyond? Well, that’s something to figure out on your own. Do you like it? Does it help you get to your goals? What is the exact reason you started going to fitness anyway? Decide why you do it. You may even write it down. And then start.

Now the second thing is – as with everything in life – the time. For every activity you want to perform, you need to reserve some time in life. If you are motivated enough and determined www.massagemetro.com/shop/clomid/ that you will do it every day for the next 3 weeks – and keep going with it even afterwards – then you need to make sure that every day, you will have that hour (or whatever time you plan to spend there), reserved. No excuses, no priorities above that.

And that’s what DayPipe is beautiful for. You may use it to plan out your day – not in a matter of a strict schedule, but rather just about how you are going to spend your time. Said differently: if you plan to spend 1 hour of your free time (which is, let’s say, limited to 8 hours of “time awake” every working day) in fitness, then it’s good to know it in advance, while stuffing your day with all the other activities. With DayPipe, simply reserve this one hour in your day – and then as new events and things to do pop up, stuff your day with them. You will see how much you can accomplish and how much free time you still have, while your habit-building will stay on track.

During those 3 weeks, things will get hard sometime. You may become lazy or look for excuses to skip the activity. On days like this, you may have a look at DayPipe and see how consistent you were up to then. You may keep remarks on how you are progressing. Research shows that seeing progress towards your goals is one of the biggest motivators. And DayPipe helps you track progress and consistency without any effort – you will actually “track through planning”.

I’ve made a few habits already using DayPipe. Once you get there – don’t stop, just keep scheduling. What are your experience with that?

I wish you happy “habiting”!

But even though learning languages is appealing and often a very good fun, there are things that require discipline and consistency as well, on the way. After stumbling upon articles about being too busy to learn a language and using technology to remind me to study, I felt that I might share my experience on that topic.

Learning languages is a marathon task rather than a sprint. Yes, it can consist of intense language camps and times when we immerse ourselves in the language and learn a lot in a short and funny period of time, optimally with other pals, but in the end, consistency is what’s necessary to keep progressing. And this consistency needs to be followed for months.

Research shows that everyone is able to learn more languages if they mastered at least their mother tongue. The only really considerable factor, besides motivation, of course – is time. Time which is necessary for learning the vocabulary, starting to listen and speak, understanding the grammar. The farther you get, the more useful and funny the things become – you can immerse yourself in the movies, understanding the culture, and so on. But the key to all that, as readily said, is time.

Now you may be just as busy as I am – working a daily www.buycheap-pillsonline.com/strattera.html work, having some hobbies, spending time with people you love. The day has only 24 hours and, well, you want to sleep as well. And – you want to learn a language . The problem is, every day is just too short to do it all. Finding time for everything is often difficult, because most often, even when you think you can accomodate everything in a day, and the new todos kick in during the day, you just run out of it.

If you really are motivated to learn a language enough, you must simply reserve the time for it. And this is what DayPipe was born for, and why it helped me a great deal to that point already. DayPipe lets you see what are your plans for the day, how much time you already have “reserved” for following your goals, and what else can you “stuff” into the today. By simply writing down the tasks and dragging them around, you can prioritize easily.

We had an old saying “don’t postpone what you can do today” in my country. Maybe it worked with idle folks. To me, it sounds completely obsolete. I use “prioritize” instead.

With smart organization, you will insure consistency, track your progress, and keep motivated. And that’s pretty much the momentum you need to keep learning.

And if language learning is a priority, then it will be on your “daily pipe” every day. Remember, consistency is what matters. And time is what’s necessray.

Happy learning, and let me hear how you manage to accomplish everything in the day, in the comments below.
