It finally happened

Often I’ve heard people say that, to stay consistent in learning Japanese, you’d want to get to a point where learning it becomes such a habit that skipping learning for a day doesn’t feel right to you.

Yesterday, I experienced this for the first time. The night prior I’ve slept for 2h, and after a long day’s work, I’ve decided to go to skip my daily routine and go to sleep at 7pm to be ready for the next day.

I couldn’t sleep, I genuinely couldn’t fall asleep because I felt like I should’ve done Japanese anyway. And despite how much I’ve told myself that skipping 1 day isn’t going to kill me, I couldn’t fall asleep. So I got up, read a few pages of よつばと! , learned 10 words, did my reviews and slept like a baby afterwards.

For the first time, I actually felt uncomfortable that I didn’t touch Japanese for the day. I don’t know if I should count this as success or a fault lol
