30 Days

I've heard a lot about doing something to 30 days in order to make changes in your life. If we think about it, we can do almost anything for a short period of time and 30 days is a pretty short period of time.

What changes or improvements do I want to make in my life? Can I think about something I could do for 30 days that will move me toward this improvement?

Here's a challenge for my students in the Skills Tutor program. Try to commit to doing Skills Tutor for 10 hours per week for the next 30 days. You should see a great deal of progress from this kind of focus on your skills and you may be able to take the test sooner than you think. Then, if you get into the habit of studying for 10 hours per week, once the 30 days are complete, you will probably want to continue doing some type of "studying" to take the place of the Skills Tutor work. Some things you might like to try after the 30 days are up - reading for 10 hours per week for personal enjoyment or personal improvement or you may want to take a course on Metrix or take a course at CCRI.

There is research to suggest that once you do something for 30 days, it becomes a habit.
