Braces don’t move teeth with one big shove. It’s light pressure for months. Real change usually works the same way.

Teeth move because a small force is applied constantly, not because anything is forced. Bone rebuilds around the pressure over months, and a harder shove would damage rather than hasten it. Most change in a life has the same shape: modest input, applied without interruption, for longer than feels interesting.

Choose an amount of daily effort you could keep up on a bad week, and make it smaller than you want to. Ten minutes of the language, one page, one set. The thing that moves you is the fact that it does not stop.
