2nd reason. Pimsler may be not the best option for you. And it\s boring.So try visual resources.Youtube cources, spanish lessons for beginners.
If I were you I would check a lot of diffrent resources and Pimsler is only additional resource when you have other chores (washing dishes etc) listen pimsler or youtube or whatever you want,
I guess there is a thread about resources for learning spanish

This is not exactly what I said! I don't think we can assume that language 'isn't so important' to the OP. This person took the trouble to come here and ask questions about it. Some balance between all types of learning can now be investigated.

Maybe 20 minute periods ?
That's what Alexander Arguelles said earlier this year.
But I am unsure whether this breaks the flow if there's one.
I'm testing that on myself.

If I'm not entirely bored/exhausted after ~15 minutes, I don't switch activities. But if I am, maybe I have to switch.
