IWTYAL 291: How do I decide what to study every day?

Kausalya asks: “How do you decide what to do every day in your core study time?

In Today's Episode:

• My “Core Study Time” is quiet, focused time that I spend on my target language every morning
• I don't have any kind of weekly routine where I do specific activities every day
• Rather, I focus on one activity, often for a period of 2-3 weeks
• I call these Sprints, which you can read more about in this article
• The reason for Sprints is that sustained focus is how I've always been able to bring about real, meaningful progress in my language learning
• Jumping from one activity to another on a daily basis, in my opinion, encourages shallow learning
