Welcome, aspiring polyglot! There are hundreds of language learning strategies that can be found all over the internet. Many of them seek to push your buttons and FOMO (fear of missing out) is one of those buttons. That is where many of the language learning myths come from and they are often more destructive than helpful. After all, it can be difficult to want to study a new language when you have been convinced you will lose it should you stop using it. While it is certainly true that you will have a better experience if you never stop, you do not need to worry about losing it, unless you decide to never return to your language studies. Oh, and 10 minutes per day is not enough.

No, 10 minutes per day is not enough
