finding and learning something new

ooh! lifehack has a really fabulous article on the complete guide to finding and learning something new online. and for those who partake in new year’s resolutions, this is a good primer to get you learning the right things.

it includes both practical and fun approaches to deciding what to learn, inlcuding:
- relive your childhood ambitions
- see what’s lacking in your job or business
- review the essential life skills you need

the article states a good case about safety in that last point and suggests swimming or self defense, but i’d add a few other things to the list such as first aid, cpr, pet trauma care, and emergency preparedness.

it matters not whether you are starting the year off with a resolution or wanting to state a resolution in this very moment, always research your learning options before you decide on one. time wasted learning something you didn’t really want to learn will wear down enthusiasm. choosing the right one is essential.

happy learning!
