Tip of the Week #351: A Simple Way to Build Better Habits This Year
Happy New Year!
I hope your year is off to a great start!
I have been sending out a weekly tip now since January of 2015. Thank you for being a reader! I really do appreciate it.
I’m a big believer in goals. Even wrote a book about them—still unpublished, but if you want to read it, just let me know.
In my experience, setting goals is easy. Hitting them is a little trickier.
Usually, the difference comes down to habits.
If you want to reach a goal, I recommend you build the habits that support it.
For me, the fastest way to build a new habit is simple: track it.
If you want an easy place to start, you can use these free habit-tracking sheets from Printabulls. (I’m not an affiliate—I just found them useful and wanted to share them with you.).
Here are several free habit trackers you can print: https://www.printabulls.com/self-improvement-and-care/habit-trackers/
Here is on I like: https://www.printabulls.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Printable-Habit-Tracker-Tracker-15.pdf
Just write your habit on the worksheet somewhere, and start tracking your progress.
Oh, and don’t beat yourself up when you miss a day. I bet I hit my daily goals about fourty percent of the time. The trick is to pick yourself up and start again the next day.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier.
If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.
If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg.
If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
I teach other languages on my site, too. The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
By the way, some of the links in this post are affiliate links. Not trying to pull a fast one on you. I only promote what I believe in. Not only that, but commissions from affiliate links allow me to continue offering training and books at low prices and sometimes free.
