I'm not saying you're wrong but it seems so backward. I didn't love computing as a kid because I had a habit of computing already. I got that because I was motivated to play with the computers. The motivation came first, not the habit.

Same with learning a 2nd language. First I got motivated to learn it. I didn't get the habit first. In fact I can't name anything I got a habit for before being motivated.

Again, I'm not saying you're wrong. I've heard this advice many times. And maybe forming a new habit leads to motivation. It's just counter intuitive based on what think is most people's experiences.
