A routine is easier to repeat when its first step is clear.

Tie the start of a study session to something you already do, such as finishing breakfast or closing your workday.

A specific plan is easier to follow than a vague intention.

Vague intention

  • Study more often
  • Decide what to study at the last minute
  • Wait until there is plenty of free time

Repeatable plan

  • Study after the evening meal
  • Open the next prepared exercise
  • Stop after ten minutes if needed
