    On Identity.
    After learning Chinese for a few years, in England, a Chinese person told me I am Chinese because I have Chinese characteristics - I speak Chinese, know Chinese history and geography, and celebrate Chinese festivals. I decided that I am indeed Chinese (as well as Scottish, British, and European). Now I don’t bother with Chinese courses and curricula, I don’t bother trying to replicate my English vocabulary and skills, I just explore the Chinese that arises naturally in my Chinese life! I told one of my Chinese conversationalists about this and she decided to be English. Now, when we chat, an English person speaks Chinese really well and a Chinese person speaks English really well. It’s a blast!

    "Atomic habits" was the book that motivated me to learn Italian (with a "ten minutes a day" rule) and also to create my UA-cam channel! This book changed the way I see goals, you just need to take it one step at a time, then you will do "tiny changes" and over time get "remarkable results", as the subtitle of the book already indicates :)

    As for those who's target is to "get rich" what you lack is not atomic habits. Stop admiring assholes in the first place. That should help.

    Thank you for sharing your insights. The book sounds valuable. I do a minimum every day: 20 minutes of reading, an hour of listening. I haven't missed a day in 7 months. Other things might be different each day. I have not encountered any sudden breakthrough, but I notice improvement all the time: there are more words I can read, more spoken sentences I understand. Maybe I'll never be fluent. It doesn't matter. I'm a language learner.

    I read a little each day. I am interested in what I'm reading, so it's easy to keep doing.
    It's possible to form habits around things that are very grueling. Some people go very hard on flashcards even when they find them exhausting.
    It's better to form a habit around something enjoyable if at all possible, as even a habit you've done for months will be given up if it's not interesting. Or it will make you miserable.
    I try to limit my commitment to what I can do on my worst days. That way I don't lose habits to lost sleep or other problems. I think it's about 10 minutes to a half hour. It's nice to do more if you have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but it's better not to push to do a lot every day if your circumstances aren't very stable.

    Yes! This has very much been my experience with language acquisition. It's important to develop study habits that work for us and to stick with it, learning a little bit at a time for a long time. Thomas Monson once said, "When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of improvement accelerates."

    Hi Steve, great videos, I'd like to point out a topic I haven't seen covered anywhere about language learning.
    I have struggled with procrastination for years, I do creative work (architect) and the only good solution that works for me in the fight against procrastination is the so-called controlled procrastination (I invented the term for myself :))
    It consists in the fact that every time I procrastinate, I do it at least purposefully and by learning a language, currently Spanish. And I have to say that I'm making fast progress (I study for two or three hours a day) ... and therefore Spanish is becoming my first procrastinated language :) Just as a suggestion for a possible topic ... have a nice day, Pavel

    I made a habit of reading graded reader books on tadoku for 1-2 hours a day. Felt like I was making no progress after two weeks, and then I looked at my download history. Basically, I went from 1-2 books at level 0 per day to around 3-5 books at level 1 per day. I'm expecting an insanely intense plateau any moment now for various boring, Japanese specific reasons, but that's fine because that's how it is when you do something that's difficult. Anyways, point is that habits are powerful because they allow you to do less hard work. The cost is spending energy into discipline, but that's a great deal because it's cheaper overall.

    2:00 small habits practiced consistently every day = key to success. 8:00 a lower level of activity consistently practiced every day is much better than binging mutiple hours after missing a couple of days. the cumulative affect of small actions is very large.
