Last year I would set language goals that were too ambitious and in the end I couldn't achieve many of them, I kind of bit off more than I could chew, so this year I'm trying to set up more realistic and possible goals in order to do that I'm currently using a method called the daily high light . The daily highlight is the only thing you need to get done that day no matter what so, I set up a daily highlight for the week and some optional goals that I don't have to get done if I don't want to. I also try to do something related to language learning everyday even if it is just watching a kid's show in my target language

My language goals :

French:

Try to watch something in French every day so I keep exposing myself to the language

Learn a vocabulary topic every day

Review my anki cards

Master the basic grammar

English :

Record myself every day(most important goal)

Read aloud

Once a week write a small paragraph about movies or any topic I like so that I can improve my writing and grammar .

This is a summary of what i did these past few days, let's start with French, I read a short story about the beaches of France ,did my anki cards ,learned how to use lequel,lequelle,lequels ,watched a lot of children's cartoons in French ,found out how to use ce,cet,ces and cette. In English I recorded myself and made a paragraph with piled up vocabulary, read a wikipedia's article aloud .

Things I wanna do next week :

Get started on the imparfait

Write a daily paragraph

Improve my grammar in English
