Description

Today’s episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re constantly restarting their language routine—only to fall off track again and again.

Because, honestly? That’s been me lately.

And if you’ve ever felt stuck in that cycle—of wanting to stay consistent, but ending up tired, overwhelmed, or just plain forgetting—I want to share something that’s been helping me lately: a psychological trick called the Fresh Start Effect.
