Instagram has been a kind of middle ground between my desire to share pictures from my life and my lack of time to organize full albums on Facebook. This way, I can share beautiful tidbits from abroad, and discover beautiful things from other people as well. My favorites to follow are usually landscape photographers, and this one amazing ballet instagram-er, who pulls images and videos from ballerinas in ordinary locations. I've easily kept up this habit since the goal's end, with the exception of a few days, and I enjoy it greatly.
For duolingo, I wished to instill a habit of practicing my French other than doing my necessary homework, and it was successful, but I've since fallen out of the habit. With a busy schedule and some annoyance with the site, I stopped after the goal's end, but I intend to start it back up.
With news, I have never been an avid reader, but I recognize more and more how irresponsible it is to be an adult and not follow the basic news of the world. I only ever read headlines before, but this goal founded the love of reading the news in me. I now have no hesitation to jump on a news site and scroll through the top news, reading several articles at leisure. I still feel behind, as I don't know the backstory of things currently going on, but I'm working through it.
Therefore, I highly recommend committing to a 30 day goal if there's something you aim to be better at, because it's very effective. Forcing yourself to do it everyday for a month puts you in a positive habit that is easy to continue. I also have several more things I plan to do 30 day goals with, like keeping my inbox clear and not drinking soda.
Create good habits! I believe in you!

This is great!! It takes 21 days to make something a habit, so 30 days should definitely get it to set in. :) I struggle all the time with 30 day challenges, as you know, so I'm trying to start with one or two easy ones :)
