I am super excited to announce the launch of a brand new challenge from Language Learners Journal that will be going live on the 5th January. The #15x100Challenge will kick-start you to build better habits to reach your goals, by focusing on just 1 thing, for a minimum of 15 minutes per day over a 100 day period with support from an awesome online community of goal-getters.
The end-goal is up to you and could be anything from practicing 15 minutes of mindfulness a day, daily writing or painting, learning a new language, working on a phobia or even exercising more!
