This blog post is about ten ways you can increase productivity and entrepreneurial success by learning something new every day.
“The faster an individual learns something new, the faster they will be able to apply and use that knowledge.”
-Shelley Morrison
This post from Abavideonews will teach you how to learn something new every day, as well as some alternatives for time-wasting.
1. LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE.
My first tip is learning a new language. If you’re a programmer, try HTML5 or CSS3. If you’re a graphic designer, try Illustrator or InDesign.
Learning something new every day to increase productivity can take just a few minutes of your day, and it will set you apart from your colleagues and peers. Most of us have not learned something new in many years because we are too busy trying to get the job done, but learning something new every day will make work more enjoyable as well as more productive for you and your business.
2. LEARN A NEW PROGRAM TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY.
Learning a new program, or a specific aspect of a program will also make you more productive and can take less than five minutes of your day. For example, if you need to learn how to use Photoshop, then set aside the time every single day to learn it. Most people spend their time on social media or on YouTube watching someone else play video games. Learning a new program, or a specific feature of a program, will allow you to either make more money or take on a bigger clientele.
3. READ A BOOK.
Learning something new every day can seem intimidating at first, but reading a book will take an average of three hours out of your day, which is less than the average five-hour workday, so even if you read half of your day it won’t kill you. Reading allows you to learn and grow as an individual and business owner and to learn from other successful people about how they run their businesses. Read either fiction books or non-fiction books because both can teach you great lessons about life as well as business that might not exist in the realm of reality.
4. TALK TO A SPECIALIST.
Learning how to talk to someone will make you more confident and will make you sound like a professional, as well as make you less nervous and fearful when speaking with someone. So many people are afraid of being ridiculed, but by talking to a specialist about something they are passionate about everyday, you will learn how to speak their language and the right terminology so that they are not afraid of being ridiculed and this can increase productivity.
5. LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR PASSIONS.
Learning about yourself is one of the most important things you could ever do to become a better version of yourself and a better business person. Finding your passions will allow you to be enthusiastic about what you do, and it will make you a more likable person.
6. LEARN TO WRITE WELL.
Learning how to write well will allow you to create quality content and will also help your business in the long run by creating quality content that informs your readership base on a diverse range of topics, which will lead to higher traffic and more sales for your company or blog site.
Learning how to write well takes practice, so try writing something everyday regarding your passion or something that interests you like sports, current events or fashion trends.
7. START A NEW JOURNAL.
Starting a new journal about your passions will make you more open and outgoing about your interests, friends or family, personal struggles and other things that might be interesting to the person reading it. Writing in your journal once a day will help you become more confident in speaking out loud or in front of people because you would have practiced it enough that you are comfortable with it.
8. TAKE A KINDERGARTEN CLASS.
If you’ve never taken a class before, whether at school or in college or high-school, then take one now and learn something new every single day about one of your true passions.
Learning something new every day is important and will help you get through life, but it is also important to learn from your mistakes. By taking a kindergarten class it will give you an opportunity to learn how to love people and make friends, which can be hard once you start your adult life in the real world.
9. LEARN HOW TO LOVE SOMEBODY.
Though this tip might seem self-explanatory, it is not as easy as it sounds. Learning how to love somebody can take some time and requires hard work. Learning how to love somebody will make you a better friend, boyfriend, husband or partner because you would know the true meaning of the word love. Learning how to love will make you less judgmental and more forgiving.
10. LEARN HOW TO FORGIVE SOMEBODY.
Learning how to forgive someone will make you a happier person because it will relieve your stress and allow you to move on with your life rather than hold any resentment towards a person in the past.
