1% How to practise every day


Welcome to

Every Thursday you receive tips and content to help you improve your English skills, 1 % at a time.

How regularly does a native speak English? How frequently does a professional athlete train? How often does a world-class musician practise?

Every day would be the answer.

That is why all three of these examples become proficient at what they do. They do something every day. Not just anything. Something specific, and related to their overall goal.

Because small, seemingly insignificant moments over time lead to huge, impactful results.

The good news is, you can model (copy) them and produce the results that they do.

Here's how...

You just need to start...


TIPS

  1. Like the athlete/musician/proficient language learner, know your goal: Write out your goal on a piece of paper. Be as specific as possible. See this previous edition to help with setting a goal.
  2. Have a system for learning: What are you going to practise? Where are you going to learn? For how long? What material do you need?
  3. It's time to act: When you have completed stage 1 and 2, now it's time to act. Start with a few minutes each day (I recommend 5) for a week. Then go to 10 minutes for 2 weeks. Then try 15 minutes for 3 weeks. Then try 20 minutes for 4 weeks (this is an intensive course based on behavioural science studies on how people form habits from Stanford University). Check your progress. I guarantee if you are practising correctly you will have improved.

Welcome to 1% Every Thursday you receive tips and content to help you improve your English skills, 1 % at a time. In general terms, the Pareto Law states that 80% of results come from 20% of actions. For example: 80% of physical improvements come from 20% of exercises, or 80% of profits come from 20% of customers, or 80% of language progress comes from 20% of activities. So, if we apply this law to your English development, we need to consider the following: What do I spend 80% of my time...
