Shortcut Your Way to Fun
Just recently, I covered how you can create task fun reminders to remind yourself throughout the day to stop and have fun (in Japanese, of course!). This time around, I’m going to show you how to add shortcuts to fun to make it even easier and more convenient to get to all that fun!
Stop Scheduling Tasks, Start Scheduling Fun!
One thing we’ve probably all eventually learned (or will learn, if you already haven’t) is that fun is what creates the best progress. When you’re enjoying something, you’re more likely to continue doing it. Hence how good habits are formed (most of the time). I’m going to show you how I schedule my fun! 
XBOX 360 Controller for Windows
I’ve owned every (popular) game system, since the original Nintendo, at least once. Yet, I pretty much ended up getting rid of them all for PC gaming (except for DS and PSP). I prefer being at my PC playing games, so I can multi-task. Now I’ve finally bought myself a proper controller to play games that were meant to always be played with a controller, not keyboard and mouse. Step into the world of “XBOX 360 Controller for Windows”!
Getting Rid of English Sites and Subs!
Part of immersing yourself in Japanese involves limiting your contact with your L1 (native language, which is English for me), and replacing it with Japanese contact. An instance of this would be visiting Japanese websites instead of English websites, reading JP books instead of ENG books, etc. We already covered video games earlier this past week. The next big time sucker is websites!
Play Video Games You Lazy Bastard!
One of the biggest hobbies or interests in the world is video games. I know more people that play video games than don’t. Now that we’ve identified video games as a common time sucker for most people, we need to make that laziness (relaxiness? 
) productive!
Go Big or Go Home: Japanese OS
One of the biggest, scariest things a person can do is to jump head first into water without being able to see whats beneath. This applies to about any and all situations you can think of. People like to ease themselves into things, because it supposedly makes the discomfort gradual and thus easier to handle. Truth be told, they’re just scared. We all are at one point or another. Here’s to getting over that! Japanese Windows 7, here I come! *splash*
