I am a big believer in active learning. The more we are focused and active during the learning, the more we can learn. But a lot of times I feel like 10’ isn’t enough to facilitate such learning. To be exact, i don’t feel like I could learn a lot from these 10’-15’ or if I did learn, the progress seems very slow and subtle. Do you have any recommendations on how to make use of these tiny chunks of time during the day and feel proud that we actually make some progress out of these sessions? I think if I could feel motivated that I have actually done something worthwhile out of these 10-15’ of learning, I may want to repeat it and be consistent.
I would ask myself what exactly you mean by "active learning" and then check whether you can't apply your learning style even to 10 minutes. Be careful that a preference doesn't become an excuse not to do anything, like e.g. "I only learn with method X, but for this I need more time than 10 minutes, but I don't have 10 minutes, so I can't learn at all".
People: I don't have the time with my schedule
also people: watches tv series on Netflix
Yeah well we all have our priorities ...

Most of the German I know (despite years of "learning" at school) is from listening to German music which I really enjoy singing along to.
That's nice! Keep singing :-)
