# One should establish a set time to learn everyday that one will not allow to pass even if one stands to lose a lot. <ref> Tur and S”A 155:1. Gra 155:3 sources it in Gemara Sanhedrin 99bs which says that someone who learns inconsistently is compared to an adulteress wife, Mishna Brurah 155:5 sources it in the Yerushalmi Sotah Perek 9 , and Halacha Brurah (Shaare Tzion 155:2) adds that another source can be Yerushalmi Brachot (end of Brachot) that someone who learns inconsistently is violating the Brit Torah. </ref> Yet, someone who trusts Hashem (has Emunah) will certainly not lose money by learning as Hashem rewards doubly. <Ref> Halacha Brurah 155:1; yet, as with the reward for all Mitzvot, the reward isn’t necessarily meant for this world. </ref> | # One should establish a set time to learn everyday that one will not allow to pass even if one stands to lose a lot. <ref> Tur and S”A 155:1.

# If one is forced and greatly pressured to miss his set time for learning, he should learn one pasuk or halacha. <ref>Magen Avraham 155:1 in name of Emek Bracha, Mishna Brurah 155:4, and Halacha Brurah 155:1 </ref> and make up the time for learning later in the day or at night. <ref>Magan Giborim (Eleph HaMagen 155:3), Mishna Brurah 155:4, and Halacha Brurah 155:1 based on Eruvin 65a which says that Rav Acha would regularly learn a certain amount every day and when he couldn’t because of business he would make it up at night. Mor Ukesiah writes similarly 155 that one should learn a fixed amount of time daily but if one learns at a certain time for different intervals everyday then if he needs to go to business he can make it up later that day or in the night. </ref> | # If one is forced and greatly pressured to miss his set time for learning, he should learn one pasuk or halacha. <ref>Magen Avraham 155:1 in name of Emek Bracha, Mishna Brurah 155:4, and Halacha Brurah 155:1 </ref> and make up the time for learning later in the day or at night. <ref>Magan Giborim (Eleph HaMagen 155:3), Mishna Brurah 155:4, and Halacha Brurah 155:1 based on Eruvin 65a which says that Rav Acha would regularly learn a certain amount every day and when he couldn’t because of business he would make it up at night.
