Things Where You Should Definitely Invest Your Time & Money to Improve Your Life 😉
5 things that I use to improve my learning and they also can help you…
Okay, So we all want to improve in life and technology can help us in this if we use it wisely, so let me tell you some of the things that always helped me.
1. Youtube (wisely):
YouTube is like a double-edged sword. Mindlessly watching videos that are recommended by YouTube itself can be a waste of time(even I do it sometimes). but YouTube is also a great free resource for learning anything you want. For example, I am currently learning Spanish grammar through a channel Called The Language Tutor. Ah, he(Dr. Danny Evans) is such an amazing teacher. I highly recommend him if you wanna learn Spanish as a beginner.

Tip for stopping mindless watching:
If you wanna stop yourself from mindless watching, you can just do a simple trick that I use, it is something so simple.
Just choose a video on a topic that interests you, probably a longer one. then watch it in its entirety. Keep watching It even if you start to feel bored. give yourself two options. a) Watch the entire video, or b) stop using YouTube altogether.
This technique will help you either discover more engaging content or redirect your time more productively.
I know It might sound clingy for some people but it actually works for me always.
2. Books:
Okay, you have to admit that books are the best thing you can invest in. Whether you prefer fictional or nonfictional books, like I do. Books are always among the best things to have. Personally, I prefer physical books over e-books or Kindle. Currently, I am reading a book called Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins. And, ah bro, his life was incredibly challenging yet motivating.
I’m learning a lot from this book, especially since it’s my first biographical read, and I’m truly enjoying it. I encourage everyone to invest in books
3. Duolingo:
Well as I am fond of languages that is why Duolingo is actually helpful for me. However, I must clarify that this app will not make you a fluent speaker. I’ve maintained a streak for 203 days (yoo yoo). Yet, I don’t feel even if I have reached an intermediate level of Spanish.
However, I believe this app could serve as a good starting point if you want to learn the basics of any language. and then you can decide whether you want to continue learning that language or not. well, I decided to continue Learning with YouTube and other online resources while maintaining my streaks on Duolingo.
I don’t really recommend Super Duolingo as the free version has enough features but if you want you can also try Super Duolingo
4. A New Hobby:
If you have free time and you’re feeling bored, consider picking up a new hobby such as Reading, Cooking, Writing, Gardening, Photography, Videography, or Coding and Programming.
However, If I were to suggest a new hobby, I would recommend learning a new language, just as I am doing it. Ah, I’ve mentioned numerous times that I’m learning Spanish. But as the study says, learning a new language can Improve your memory, increase your creativity, and make you better at multitasking.
But despite those reasons, Learning a new language can be rewarding itself. it also gives you exposure to a new and different culture than yours, So, I strongly encourage you to learn one.
for me, Learning Spanish is the gateway to the culture I am interested in, and that is Latin American Culture.

So, Pick up a new Hobby! Don’t Wait, Start today!
5. 30-day calendar:
Before I tell you about this great tool. I’d like to share my 30-day calendar that I’m currently using to learn Spanish.
This kind of 30-day Calendar has always been helpful for me. I have used this as a 30-day reading challenge and for 100 days of code. It helps me stay accountable for my learning and keeps me motivated to not miss a single day of study. Every day, I check off one day on this calendar, and I feel one step closer to my goal. I’m genuinely excited to see how much progress I can make in a month.
I highly recommend you use this kind of calendar as it's as easy as maintaining streaks on Snapchat haha. but here you are going to improve.
You can make your own calendar with as many days as you want using Canva or any other site you prefer.
Or If you want a starter with Bonus then check it out here for free.
Okay…
So that’s it for now, There are so many more things that I use and I will be sharing them later. I hope you liked this new kind of article on my page. drop down a comment if you have any suggestions for me. and If I am wrong somewhere then correct me as I am here to learn.
