Most countries outside the US already speak 2 languages, maybe even 3... Their native language and english..

I’ve started a journal to write in before bed just to lay out all of my ideas before I turn in for the night. As I have been having more negative emotions and no friends or family close enough to listen to me, getting all my thoughts to the page helps me leave them while I sleep at night.

Buying a decent bed is a great investment

I’m very uncomfortable with the paid programming going on here. Maybe lingoda is amazing, maybe it’s a horrible waste of money but they pay TFD LLC enough to gloss over that. Not disclosing the conflict of interest here seems highly unethical.

Love the body diversity depicted in the animations :)

Learning a second language is extremely rewarding but make sure you practice and learn how to read/write some of it. I used to be able to converse in Spanish when I was learning it in High School pretty proficiently but when I outside of that, I rarely use it and slowly forget. I started to use it more when I go to Mexican restaurants and my Spanish has gotten better.

Yeah,
Investing time in your mental and physical enhancement is as important as investing money. Infact it's more important in some extent.

I like how they magically add the sponsorship to daily habits.

I think this one has been my favorite Making it Work thus far. Thanks for the reminder!

[DaddyDebt]

Sometimes we forget that keeping our ourselves healthy is more important!

The smallest changes make the biggest difference over time. You’ll thank yourself when you’re still mentally sharp and looking young and fit in ten years. (Then you look around and see what the alternative path has lead to) 😬

1 Sleep hygiene
2 learning a new language
3 time spent away from your coach (exercise, eat outside)
4 your platonic relationship
5 staying up-to-dated on your industry (technology)

I'm already bilingual and it has done nothing for me professionally.... not to say it could never but I'm 33 and so far the only "benefit" is people saying "oh cool, you speak French? hehehehe Bonjour... Did I say that right??" I know bits of Spanish and am learning Telugu (my boyfriend is Indian and his mother doesn't speak English so am learning for her). We are branching out into documents in other languages at work including French but even though I have that expertise, I am not on any of those projects. Everyone knows I am bilingual and it's even on my work profile. It might be useful for you in other ways and I don't think it's a waste of time at all, but just here to say it hasn't benefited me professionally and I work in a global company. I just wouldn't get your hopes up too high...

Has anyone tried Lingoda before? Reading through the refund policy it seems like there are a lot of ways for them to screw you out of your refund.

[financiallift]

Sleep hygiene is important but ironically I watch financial diet videos before I sleep

[barshabanerjee]

Thanks for doing this segment.
I feel not many people view these as significant investments for a fulfilling life.

Investing in mental health may be a priority for many people too; without dealing with issues like PTSD, depression, or anxiety, accomplishing these will be much harder.
