STAY ORGANISED - why you need to

If you can put your hand up and say you feel you're getting enough language input, you're probably having problems keeping everything organised.

I'm not sure if I am getting enough at the moment. What with suddenly not having a computer to hand, nor much in the way of listening or reading materials, it's hard to feel I'm learning. I do however, have a lot of Spanish (mainly Catalan) students who are keen to teach me rude words. Until recently I'd inundated myself with piles of papers, printouts, DVDs, CDs, computer files.

Only when you realise how much stuff you accumulate when you're learning so you realise the need to organise your materials.
