I was in camp and our learning director suggestied 3 kabbalos that everyone should make in elul. 1- accept the machsom l’fi program. which is, saying no lashon from 9am to 10am. 2- Learning two mishnos in all the “wasted time”. (After you finished shemoneh esray and your’e waiting for the tzibbur…) in one year you’ll finish a seder in mishnayos and in 6-8 years you can finish sheesha sidrei mishna. It sounds like a long time but it is so easy. It just takes between 5 and 12 minutes a day. You’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish. 3- Learning mishna berura a page a day. It doesn’t take longer than 15-20 minutes. My father does it on the way to work to manhattan on the train. IT IS SO EASY. IN 5-6 years you’ll finish the entire mishna berura. MY father is in middle of his second round of mishna berura on the TRAIN. If you look at mishna berura as a whole it looks like it will take a lifetime to finish. But with 15 minutes a day you can finish it in 5-6 years!!!
