Do you sometimes get that feeling of resistance of doing something that you have procrastinated for a while? The longer you have procrastinated the harder it is to do it. Law of inertia in action. Fortunately it goes both ways. If object is in motion, it will continue to do so if there is no friction. The same is with action. If you have a habit doing something then you will just automatically keep doing it barring normal circumstances (ie. no friction).

This is exactly what happened with me. Last weekend I spent with friends at Big Sur with no cell reception, very limited wifi-connection and not much time on my own.

I still managed to get in my minimum of half an hour per day. I was well prepared with offline Memrise courses and downloaded podcast episodes.

So when Monday came around and I was at my regular schedule I got right back into my Spanish studying habits and got quite a lot of minutes in.

Here is the breakdown:

Day 15 (Thursday) total of 32 minutes:
