Principle: Anchors

Which kind?

A personSomeone you speak only English with.An activitySomething that happens anyway, moved to English.A habitSmall, fixed, adds up.

What is the anchor?

The commute podcastWhatever plays during the workoutWhatever plays while cookingThe series subtitlesSomething else

When?

Every dayWeekdays, Sunday to ThursdayWeekendOnce a week

What time?

Your anchor

On weekdays at 08:00: The commute podcast, in English. Not "when it works out". Always.

A standard calendar file. Opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook.

A rough snapshot. Not a test, not a score, not an official level.

What to do with this

The principle: an anchor is something that is always in English for you. Not "when it works out". The more anchors, the more of the pie moves without a decision every morning.

Put it in your calendar now, before you close the page. An anchor that is not written down is still an idea.
