Like @honeydue said, this is the kind of article to read now when people are trying to claim their promises. In fact, I'll get back on track on learning Spanish with Duolingo using the "2 minute rule" as you explained. This wasn't really a new year's resolution, because I don't make them for the sake of making them. I think it's better to start in the moment if one wishes to change something. Besides, I think it sets for more satisfaction when one doesn't have to claim their wishes, because claiming to do something also creates an exception of doing it. As if it's the new default, because promises are expected to be claimed. But as we're human, we brake our promises (sometimes) and set ourselves to disappointment when we go under the new default we have set for ourselves.

Instead, just by doing something without creating an expectation of succeeding in it beforehand, one can actually take a bit of pride by exceeding, as in the way of "oh look, I actually got something done".

But that's just my way of doing things, everyone may do as they please if it works for them.

Thanks for the article, @Cryptogee!
