My weird self-care
[ENG] Learning a language is self-care to me. Despite having two jobs, I try to carve out time every day to sit down and study for a couple of hours. Usually, it happens in the early morning. The best time to engage in language learning, or any other brain-intensive activity, is about half an hour to an hour after waking up.
