You can signup in the following apps/websites to always learn something to improve you life:
- Coursera: Offers courses from top universities and companies. You can find short courses that fit into your schedule.
- edX: Similar to Coursera, it provides access to courses from leading institutions like Harvard and MIT.
- Skillshare: Focuses on creative skills like design, photography, and writing. Many classes are short and to the point.
- Highbrow: Delivers bite-sized courses directly to your inbox. Each lesson takes just 5 minutes to read.
The software Deepstash is incredible. This isn’t a site for courses like udemy. It functions more like a daily global article collection. The app picks up where these articles left off, giving you the gist. The papers cover a variety of topics, including philosophy, self-improvement, and finances. I think this is one of the best and most practical apps out there, and it’s definitely worth a look.
Here are some effective strategies to optimize your time:
- Microlearning: Divide complex subjects into smaller, manageable pieces.
- Focused Attention: Implement techniques like the Pomodoro Technique—25 minutes of intense work followed by a brief break—to boost focus.
- Digital Detox: Regularly take breaks from screens to give your mind a rest.
- Mindful Consumption: Choose high-quality content over quantity to ensure meaningful learning.
- Practical Application: Apply your new knowledge to real-life scenarios to reinforce understanding.
- Utilize Mobile Apps: Use educational apps and podcasts to facilitate learning on the go.
I know it is kind of a cliche but if you want to learn new languages, you can try out Duolingo
