I have a slight problem here. There is this Finnish Song that I am trying to learn and my current method is to write down something twenty times, mostly from memory until I know it perfectly well. I have use this method to learn the alphabet backwards and also other small things. The problem is not really learning the song, its the way that I am trying to learn it. Instead of learning parts of the song and then moving on to another part, I just try to learn the whole thing all at once. I have spent two nights now trying to copy every word in a text that I mostly don't understand. My brain has been fighting against the process all the time and I have a lot of trouble getting up the will power to even start doing it. All I can think about is that I have to do this twenty times, that does not make any sense. Right this moment, I have no idea what to do next, nothing really seems to work. But of course, how could anything work, I have never taken the time to really learn anything about learning a language. There are no good books about learning Finnish that I can find, but I could simply read one on learning Spanish and apply some of the same methods to the Finnish language. I have been reading, or at least looking at all I can find on this language for seven years so I do know how it works well enough to get through it, all I need is a method for learning and practicing.

On another note, what I am focusing on? I have all these things that I want to do but there is no one thing that I really focus on during the day. I come home from work and I either go look at my computer all night or look for something that I can do in the house. At best I try to think of new ways to make money or learn something. Tonight I am going to read the book, Brendon Burchard - The Motivation Manifesto. I just got a preview of that and what it shows is that you must say no to most things and focus all of your attention on a single thing in order to move forward.

This is a video from the author of the book. From this I am seeing how much I have been wasting my time trying to do too many things at once. I am going to start reading the book now. I am not sure how much I can learn from it, but we will see how far this gets me.
