      In This Lesson, You Learned:

      Shannon's method for habit building: Find what motivates you to keep coming back to your learning and make it a part of your routine. If you miss a day, don't worry about it! There's no reason to feel guilty about a break. Just make a goal to get back to it the next day.

      Featured Trade Secret:

      Trying building your habit around a set time of day or a set action. For me, I like to study vocab in the morning while I drink my cup of coffee. That's my ritual, and it's become habit because my brain knows when I wake up and get my coffee, it's time to learn new words in my target language. So where you make this work in your own daily life?

          Caitlin's method for goal setting: Mapping out your flights of stairs to get to the rooftop view (your end goal!), and how working backwards from your end result to where you are now can help you plan more carefully and clearly.

          Featured Trade Secret:

          Goals are great, but they're not enough on their own. You need more than just goals. You also need systems. And these systems are the routines and tasks you put together and complete in order to reach your goals. Once you have your goals there's still work to do. You also need to spend some time determining what steps you need to take to work towards those goals.
