Hi there,

When I asked what makes home practice hard, the most common answer was:

"I want to practice, but..."

...I forget.

...I'm too tired.

...I don't know where to start.

...something else comes up.

Getting started with a task is a cognitive skill. And it can be more difficult after a stroke or brain injury.

Trying harder isn't always the answer. Sometimes making it easier to start can help.

Here are 3 things to try today:

🗓️ Schedule it.
Treat your home practice just like an in-person appointment. Give yourself a specific day, time, and place to sit down and work.

☝️ Shrink the first step.​
Just plan the very first thing you need to do. For example, "sit down at the table" or "open the Virtual Rehab Center." Once you're already in motion, it can be easier to keep going.

⏰ Start small.​
Set a timer for 15 minutes. When it goes off, you're allowed to stop. Some days you'll want to keep going. Other days, 15 minutes is enough.

When home practice is hard, the Virtual Rehab Center can help:

✅ You don't have to plan. When you open it, your exercises are already chosen. Your top picks are highlighted in yellow. Tap one and begin.

✅ It changes with you. Exercises start easier, then get harder as you improve. When you master one exercise, a new one unlocks.

✅ Missing a day is okay. Your exercise plan is still there when you come back. You don't have to start over.

​P.S. If the Virtual Rehab Center isn't right for you, you can cancel before the trial ends, and still have access to your exercises for the whole week.
