We are halfway through the January learning challenge! For those of you who are participating, how are you doing? What things have you been learning about? And if you’re new here, welcome! There is still time to jump in!
This challenge has been really fun for me so far. I’ve always been a bit of an academic and it’s been refreshing to uncover that hunger for learning again. The simple exercise of reading everyday has fired me up, inspired me and helped me feel like my brain is still functioning on a decent level. Making learning a priority, in whatever form, will definitely be a permanent part of my day from now on.
As a reminder, this was my challenge:
It has been easy for me to fit in the podcasts while I’m doing chores or running on the treadmill. The kids are usually running around or playing, so it feels like alone time, while still being productive. I’ve also watched a lot of TED talks and I swear they are like candy; I can’t stop at just one. I’ve watched 8 already.
Book reading is a little harder to do during the day, but I’m trying to get in a few pages when I can. Mark and I have started reading a chapter of our books before watching TV at night, so that helps too. As of today, I’ve finished one book and am almost through the second. One more to go!
I’ll post a record of the podcasts, TED talks, and websites at the end of the month because some are just too good not to share.
Let’s finish out the month strong, friends!
