How do I handle the 'Verb-Second' rule when I'm tired?

Posted by u/Busyprofessional_414 / May 30, 2026

I'm a busy professional with only about 20 minutes a day to study German, and I find that my biggest hurdle is keeping the verb in the second position when I'm exhausted after work. I constantly revert to English word order. Are there any drills or memory hacks you use to make the V2 rule feel like muscle memory instead of a constant logic puzzle?
