I use an app called "Loop Habit Tracker," and one of the items I track is similar to #3, "Did you help someone today?" Sometimes work feels like it drains everything out of you, so rest is, like you say, also important, and helps enable you to do those kind things. :)Marian Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115916138435761469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-40163350880538970782017-09-16T08:05:56.327-07:002017-09-16T08:05:56.327-07:00Congratulations on #7; that's my bĂȘte noire! ...Congratulations on #7; that's my bĂȘte noire!

Not that we don't enjoy it at all...but there's a lot that we miss. I need to focus on *seeing* what's in front of me more often...that yes, I *can* be bothered to notice that beautiful little flower that just bloomed located right outside of my office as I walk in. It really is only an additional few seconds, after all. If one can't be bothered for that... :-/<br /><br />May I suggest a sleep-related goal?

My rule was that at 14 they could choose for themselves, and really I think it was time. I've been doing this for 12 years and I'm pretty tired! They are both doing well and I'm pleased.

It doesn't go too fast, builds sensibly and has good review. But you've hit upon a <i>must</i> with learning all languages .... consistency. Even if you only study it 10 min a day, as long as you do it everyday, you'll keep progressing.Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-73986867700135380992017-09-11T09:31:58.620-07:002017-09-11T09:31:58.620-07:00A "past" master .....?
