Habits are easier to maintain.
If feasible, you may wish to treat yourself to specific days off such as the weekends once the activity is established as a habit. It commonly takes anywhere from two weeks to three months of repeating an activity before it becomes habit. The more dislike you have for the activity, the longer it will take. The other advantage of doing an activity daily is that you won't get as behind in that area, relieving you of some of the guilt and overwhelming feeling of lack of completion or success. Ask to review the child's work when it is completed.
