Focus Shift #2 - Give More Priority To Your Motivator
For example, if you're studying Japanese, because you want to speak lots of Japanese and get a Japanese-speaking job, then you should probably prioritize speaking practice more. Get on italki or Cafetalk and start taking those lessons. Get on MyLanguageExchange and start making those friends. Get money in your bank account so you can move to Japan already. Or, if your goal is to read lots of manga, then start reading lots of manga. Trudge through your first fifty books. Then somewhat enjoy the next fifty. Then breeze through the fifty after that.
I keep saying that studying should be enjoyable, right? Well Phase #4 is your chance to make it even more enjoyable.
That thing you love? Go do it… in Japanese.
