Why I need a habit to do a Coursera course?

Like I said, good intentions do not matter , if I do not commit, make a habit, and follow up weekly.

In July 2014, I had a good intention to do an online courses in Coursera.

.@coursera's "How to Change the World" has its origins in @mashable's "Social Good Summit" held at the 92nd Street Y.http://t.co/Y1MBjaISLO

After following 2 weeks, I gave up end of August.
I could not attend the course because time needed was not scheduled in my life.
Worst scenario was, since I did not give up early, that feeling of "non achievement" carried in my emotions for a long time. Nothing depresses a mind, than an inner commitment not met.

This week I am committing to a course - " Social Entrepreneurship "

Though my Coursera dashboard showed 2 courses, I understood there's no enough space for 2 courses to go parallel. Hence I un-enrolled from the second ('Age of Sustainable Development').

It will be a herculean effort to nurture inner discipline for 6 weeks.

I checked how much time needed for each week. Need roughly 3 hours per week.
Since I have committed time, made a habit, and giving up some habits I have, I am sure I can make progress.

Let's see how it goes.

And oh, Coursera is amazing. Big Fan.
