Abandoned learning projects
The course you signed up for and never completed. The language you started learning and stopped. The certification you paid for and never finished. The book you bought and never read. 88% of online learners never complete. BreakPoint is where they find a second chance.

Why learning projects die
The most common reasons: the initial enthusiasm fades (the first 20% of any course is the easy part), the content gets harder than expected, life events interrupt, the learner doesn't have a clear reason to finish. The revival model: a public commitment on BreakPoint, an accountability partner, or a learning cohort with a fixed end date.
