Instead of mindlessly scrolling through your Instagram feed before you go to sleep, inject a small pebble of study time into your day.

How To Find Time For Chinese — Even When Your Days Are Packed 🙌🏾
Everyone finds it difficult to squeeze everything they need to do into 24 hours, right? Wrong. There are people who have effectively mastered the technique of prioritizing important tasks and eliminating time-wasting tasks. This frees them up for their essentials. Essentials are the four or five things you want to make time for. That could be learning Chinese, exercising, reading, or changing the world. You can be one of these people.
Do you find yourself getting ready for bed wishing that each day had a few more hours? Are there multiple lists you are yet to get through, a full inbox of unopened emails, that yoga class you promised yourself you’d go to or that book that sits on your bedside table, unopened.
The truth is, we all have the same amount of time in the day. Let’s learn how to reclaim our time and design the life we want to lead.
How Long Does It Take To Learn Mandarin Chinese?
LIVE TUESDAYS
Firstly, have you watched my live streams on YouTube? I go live every Tuesday to discuss the best tips, tricks, and resources for learning Mandarin Chinese here in China.
You might be wondering how I live stream so well while in China. Check out last week’s post which covers the VPN I use and how to navigate the world inside the Great Firewall of China. It’s easier than you think.
Best VPN For China? Here’s What I Use!
First things first
What Is A VPN?
Whenever we surf the internet whether we’re in a public place, at home or at work, none of our data is encrypted. There is a risk that others can steal our data or track our digital movements. Anti-virus programmes only protect from things entering our computer or phone, not things going out — like our bank information, personal data, or private messages.
There is a very simple way to protect ourselves. Connect to a Virtual Private Network. Whenever you are connected to your VPN you are safely, securely, and anonymously surfing the web.
Another reason to use a VPN is to gain access to censored websites from your local internet connection. For example; I wanna live stream on Instagram but I’m in China? It gives you unrestricted access to filtered or blocked content.
