New Habit: Learn something daily
- Learning French: I finished Duolingo app's course, now experimenting with plugins and more apps to learn French.
- Learning Ukulele: I picked it some 6 months back. Still, a long way to go.
Benefit:
1)When I encounter something difficult to learn, I panic less. I understand the incremental process and the highs and lows of learning a new skill/concept.
2)The fun of learning, knowing things.
New Habit: Read books of domain/genre which I used to avoid
Benefit: 1) Interleaving of concepts, I cannot guarantee this happens. Found new ideas which can be used in my work line. For instance, a book on psychology can help you pitch your product better to consumers.
I wrote a summary of a Coursera course, which I highly recommend, " Learning How to Learn " and a book " Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World ". You can find the first draft here https://goo.gl/mfNhp1
