I use Chains.cc to get a set of good habits going that I have to do every day. I have to say it has worked pretty well because I've kept my chains up every day for over 2 years without missing a single one. I have stuff like: play guitar, work on a song, read a book, read a manual, watch a video tutorial etc. All pretty basic stuff which I tend to do anyway but I used to go through periods where I'd stop doing something for some reason or other and then a few weeks later realize that I'd skipped it for so long that I'd forgotten where I was. With Chains.cc I keep a constant thread going, even if it's just doing something for 10 minutes. 
 
Finding out that I could access all of Lynda.com's video courses with my NYC library card has been a boon as well. Every time I log on I literally think "what can I learn today?"

By the way, latin? LATIN? 
 
Well, rather you than me, lol....I had no choice in taking that at school and I still have nightmares about having to learn verbs. Some masochists among my friends actually took optional Greek as well.....ayayayayaya!

When I was a teenager, my grandmother used to rent an apartment to a young teacher who'd studied in a religious establishment where they taught him Latin. I thought it was fascinating. 
 
If I had had the option in college, Latin and Greek would have been at the top of my list, behind German. Unfortunately, my only option (besides English) was Spanish... for which I had zero interest, since I felt no connexion to Spanish culture and its derivatives. The History of Rome, Greek mythology or German philosophers - now you're speaking my language.
