And what to do with all this time that I didn't have with my wage slave "career"? I didn't know, and ended up wasting many hours over the past few days, putting off projects that I was actively doing just very recently. It was kind of freaky. I was looking for this post.

What are the chances that I would stumble upon an article talking about the very same issue that kept me awake all night, lol. Forcing myself to DO work, definitely never ever seems to work. Your article pointed me in another direction. Maybe I should start thinking that I don't have ALL that time in the world, except that would stress me out (but that is another issue to manage). This is the first time I stumbled upon your website. You've got good articles and you write in an interesting way. Cheers!

I started studying French about seven years ago and I can say a lot of things (hold a conversation about almost any topic), and understand most things, both spoken and written. I can even write with a fair bit of detail. But I make tons of errors of gender, misusing certain expressions, spelling, occasionally conjugation... Right now I'm just trying to read and watch/listen to a lot of French. I'm hoping that eventually I will start to get the kind of instincts that lots of listening from early on are starting to give me in Japanese. But I've only been doing this briefly, so I don't know what the long-term effects will be, except that I already read faster and with more enjoyment than before. And that I think I'm picking up some kind of Canadian accent a little bit (French Canadian internet radio...). @Luke
