| Chigusa: Okay, Peter, why.... the plane? Have you been flying recently? |
| Peter: I was. I went to South Korea. And the plane is an interesting place. It’s actually very motivating. |
| Chigusa: Really, why? |
| Peter: Well, picture this, Chigusa. You’re on a plane. |
| Chigusa: Okay. |
| Peter: You’re in your seat. The plane takes off. Rises up. The seat belt sign finally comes off. You stand up. You look around. What do you see? |
| Chigusa: Hmm, I see people sleeping, eating, watching TV... or going to the bathroom? |
| Peter: Exactly, Chigusa, think about it, this is actually a snapshot of what most people do in their free time. Eating. Sleeping, Watching TV. And the last part too. |
| Chigusa: Ah, that’s so true! But, what’s so motivational about that? |
| Peter: Good question. Well, if you take a closer look, there’s always 1 or 2 people who are hard at work. Who are focused on something. Laptops on. Typing away. All this going on around them but they’re locked in, laser-focused. I find that very motivational. |
| Chigusa: Ah, so while 99% of the people are sleeping or eating...? |
| Peter: ...there’s that hyperproductive few... they are hard at work. |
| Chigusa: And they’re working despite the fact that they’re in a cramped, crowded space. |
| Peter: So, there are powerful 3 lessons here. 3 habits that language learners can apply. Listeners, ready for the first one? |
| Chigusa: The first one is... Adjust to your environment. |
| Peter: Listeners, I think you’ll agree, the plane is NOT the best place to learn language. |
| Chigusa: Yeah, it’s dark, it’s cramped. You may have a crying baby next to you. |
| Peter: Bad flight, recently, Chigusa? But the point is, there’s never a perfect time or place to learn. |
| Chigusa: Yeah, trains get crowded. You can’t do much in your car. |
| Peter: Even in your own home, you’ll get distracted by the TV or Facebook or something. |
| Chigusa: And some days you’ll be sick. You’ll be tired. You’ll have dinner plans. |
| Peter: If you can accept this, you’ll stop waiting for “perfect” opportunities. |
| Chigusa: And you’ll make the best of your environment. |
| Peter: For example, if you’re on the train, you’re standing and can’t focus... |
| Chigusa: ...then use the Innovative Language 101 App. |
| Peter: Listen to the audio lessons. Or, do the word of the day by email. |
| Chigusa: These are quick and painless ways to learn... anywhere. |
| Peter: The point is... you have adjusted to your environment and made the best of it. |
| Chigusa: So, listeners, take a look at your own day and see where your time goes. |
| Peter: Is there any environment where you feel like you can’t learn? |
| Chigusa: See how you can adjust to it. |
| Peter: Ok next... |
| Chigusa: Two: Take advantage of your limited time |
| Peter: So, my last flight was 3 hours long. Now, when I fly, that time usually means movie time! Chigusa, what about you? |
| Chigusa: When I fly? It’s definitely movie time and sleep time. |
| Peter: What about commuting? When you take the train? |
| Chigusa: I just browse the internet on my iPhone. |
| Peter: So, I ask about time because... the number one reason why most people don’t learn a language... |
| Chigusa: ...ah, no time. Yeah, we’ve surveyed tons of learners over the years. |
| Peter: Every year, the answer’s the same. No time. But you’re on the train for 30 minutes... |
| Chigusa: Yeah, you kind of DO have time. So, what should you do? |
| Peter: If you’re commuting for 30 minutes, ask yourself: |
| Chigusa: “How can I put these next 30 minutes to use?” |
| Peter: If you finish work at 7PM and spend an hour doing nothing.... |
| Chigusa: ...Ask yourself “what can I do in the next hour that will help me with my goals?” |
| Peter: You don’t have to use all 30 minutes or the full hour... |
| Chigusa: ...but you can definitely fit in a 5 minute lesson... |
| Peter: ...and take steps towards your goal. Okay, finally, you need the third habit: |
| Chigusa: Three: Have an on-and-off mindset. |
| Peter: So, Chigusa, I like to chat with the hyperproductive people I see on flights. Just to learn about their work-style. How they’re able to get things done on the plane. |
| Chigusa: And they’re not too busy to talk to you? |
| Peter: Well, sometimes I could be persuasive so they’re willing to talk! They usually say the same thing: “Forget the plane. Don’t wait. Start.” |
| Chigusa: Like, they just go into work mode without thinking about it? |
| Peter: Exactly. Like they just flipped a switch. |
| Chigusa: So listeners, as soon as you know what to do in the next 30 minutes... |
| Peter: ...Flip the switch. Dive into it. Don’t spend time thinking about it. |
| Chigusa: Yeah, don’t say “I’ll do it in 5 minutes.” |
| Peter: Don’t say “it’s 5:55, I’ll start at 6.” Stop thinking and get to work. |
| Chigusa: And when you’re done with a lesson? |
| Peter: Reward yourself... and more importantly, flip the switch off. Stop thinking about language. Walk away, You’re done. |
| Chigusa: So listeners, remember — Adjust to your environment, Take advantage of your limited time... |
| Peter: ....And Have an on-off mindset. And remember... |
