Core Routines - Languages

TWO DAILY LANGUAGE ALGORITHMS

VOCABULARY
1. Choose 1-2 Words
2. Make Quiz
3. Into English x3
4. Out of English x3
Starting on Monday this will be my new routine. My main concern is not being able to find texts that are at my rather low reading level. I think I will start by simply rereading sections of the texts that I am reading as part of my summer project.
Eventually I would like to add a fourth routine, something to do with contemplation or reading philosophy. But I also realised that writing is something I'm now including in my daily life. Since these other three habits actually came out of things I was doing already I suspect that I should instead make my core habit be something that I am currently doing but want to reinforce rather then being something new. So I might use writing or I might use contemplative meditation. I would love to start reading philosophy again but chore habits need to be basic enough that I know I will do them every day.
