THE POWER OF A DEADLINE
AS A STRATEGY TO MASTER
A LANGUAGE
Welcome back!
In the previous Inner Circle, you
learned how to bounce back from
losing progress. Life happens.
Schedules change. And progress
gets derailed. All language learners
experience this.
Now that you know how to
bounce back, it’s time to ramp
things up.
This time, we’re talking
about the power of deadlines to
help you learn a language.
They’re motivating. They’re
e ective. Successful language
learners use them all time.
Yet most of us do it wrong. We
wait ‘til the last minute to get
something done.
In this Inner Circle, you’ll find out
why deadlines work and how I’m
focusing on deadlines as a
learning strategy.
More specifically, you’ll learn...
Most of us do it
wrong. We wait until
the last minute to
get something done.
Why successful learners use
deadlines to ramp up progress
How I’m ramping up my Italian
learning to meet my deadline
How you can set your own,
achievable deadlines
So, Why Deadlines Exactly?
Back in January, I set a yearly goal of 30 minutes of Italian
conversation. If you remember, I asked you to set a yearly
goal as well. Then, we started setting monthly goals that’d
bring us to the yearly goal. You can go back and re-listen
to that lesson.
But Now It’s The End Of October
So, that leaves me with 2 months to reach my goal by
December 31st. And we all know that time flies. I
feel
the
pressure already.
I lost progress. Life got in the way. I promised 27 minutes
as my October goal. I only got up to 25 minutes of Italian
conversation this month.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound
they make as they fly by.

This Is Where Deadlines Come In
A DEADLINE IS THE LATEST TIME BY WHICH SOMETHING MUST BE COMPLETED.
FOR EXAMPLE
A teacher assigns you
homework due by Friday
You must file your taxes
by April 15th
Yes, deadlines add “pressure,” but not the
“oh no, I’ll never achieve
my goal”
pressure that most non-deadline-using learners have.
They add the
“let’s get this done”
pressure. The good kind.
AND THIS BRINGS US TO THE FIRST POINT
