Episode Summary:

• My life is full of examples of doing things better after a long break
• Our brains can only achieve so much by focused attention
• The Pomodoro technique works on this principle
• Focus mode vs diffuse mode
• Small scale - i.e. my daily writing habits in one day
• Large scale - i.e. learning patterns over many months
• Breaks are essential... even many months can be fine
• It works even better if you can take "study breaks" while also speaking or using the language a lot
My name is Olly Richards, and on this channel I document my experiments in foreign language acquisition:

• Writing Chinese characters
• Languages and travel...on location!
• Daily study routines
