On learning without a proper routine
Thursday's Thousandth Thought (TTT #16)
Side note: Recordings of TTTs are back! And filled with “uuhh” and my awful pronunciation! Don’t worry, I’ll get better at this someday! 😉
I haven’t had a proper study routine for months.
As a guy who lives for having things under his control, this has been one of the most consistent reasons for feeling frustrated ever since 2023 began.
From messy preparation to leave for Korea, to living in a guesthouse and then at a friend’s place before going to spend 10 days in Japan at another friend’s home, all the way to today, finally living in my own flat with my own rules, only few things have been under my control.
While work and writing have stayed at the forefront of my activities, language learning has, for the most part, taken a back seat.
Well, to be more precise, it’s gotten a lot less structured.
I have kept up with (most) of my languages.
And that’s what I’m turning to today.
How I did it and what I can do to make it better.
Even though better is the enemy of good.
