To make your new habit easy, you could decrease the number of steps you have to take in order to study. You could also try reducing the amount of time you study.
Also, you need to make your habit satisfying.____14____For example, if you study English for 15 minutes, you could treat yourself to listening to a song you like.

Tips for Successful Family Meetings
Life is more complex than any family drama from the golden age of television may have had us believe. When Mom, Dad and the kids faced a sticky problem, they generally had it neatly resolved within the running time of that week's episode (一集). ___16___ The process allows every family member to air thoughts and concerns and in doing so, to hear one another out. Here are some tips to plan for and carry out successful family meetings.
Preparing for the meeting. ___17___ First consider why it is you re meeting. The organization of bringing everyone together means coordinating (协调) schedules, but if the reason for the discussion is especially pressing—for example, your father is declining and your mother needs immediate assistance—then coordinating schedules, while challenging, is necessary. If you do have to arrange a family meeting to discuss the care of a parent, it can be helpful.
___18___ Decide on the most pressing issue(s) so that everyone has a clear focus for the conversation. It's a good idea to include these topics in the meeting invitation you send to your family members.
Time and place. The Internet can make it easier to gather individuals who live far apart. ___19___ Decide beforehand which family members will be asked to provide input and which of them will have a deciding voice. (For example, you might want all adult children and their significant others to participate in the meeting, but only the adults in the nuclear family to have a part in decision-making.) Encourage participants to come armed with relevant information. ___20___
A．Keep to one or two topics.
B．Pick the appropriate places.
C．Choosing time and place depends on weather.
D．Choose time that works for most of the participants.

You may consider spending time in nature. Go outside! Even spending a short time in nature has a positive effect on your mood. ____22____ Besides increasing your vitamin D, spending time in nature could help calm and relax you as well as helping to improve your immunity (免疫力). So go outside and enjoy yourself in the sun.
____23____ A short exercise session will help you meet your fitness goals and give you an energy improvement. If your workplace has a gym or there is one nearby, keep a gym bag in your office so you have no excuse not to go. If not, you can take a walk. Just keep moving!
Reading can also be a good choice. ____24____ So read a chapter of a good physical book. Not a reader? Listening to something also helps. You can listen to audiobooks to refresh yourself and relax. In short, take time to recharge your batteries for the rest of the day.
Eat mindfully. Good nutrition plays an important role in your physical and mental health. Make your lunch count by eating nutritious foods. Make an everyday eating plan for yourself. ____25____ But stay away from sugar or caffeine because when the initial energy wears off, it will leave you tired and unproductive.

____28____
Studying five hours a day for two months will be better for you than studying five hours a week for two years. It’s because if you study five hours per week you cannot repeat in time. Repeating in time is very important for our memory. This is one reason why so many students find it so easy to forget.
