Hey, what's up, I am muchelleb
and we all know by now
that I am a big advocate for learning new things.
Learning new stuff makes you are more interesting human being.
It's good for your self confidence,
it keeps your brain healthy,
helps to prevent alzheimers,
and also, it can challenge the way you think about stuff
In preparation for 2017, where a lot of you might be thinking about learning something new
I am going to go through 30 really useful things that you can learn.
Let's go.
Number 1: learn how to learn.
Probably the most important thing that you can learn.
Before you start learning anything new figure out how you actually learn best.
Number 2: learn how to code.
I know very basic html and css, but that very basic knowledge has been so helpful
especially throughout doing youtube and any just online stuff.
Number 3: learn how to hand letter.
You know how you see those quote posts on instagram and the writing is so pretty - you could be capable of being the person who writes those quote posts.
You just need to learn how to hand letter.
Number 4: learn a language.
In my video on how to teach youself new things (I'll link that in the description down below)
a few of you commented and said that you wanted to learn a language
and its so easily doable with the internet.
Number 5: learn how to use microsoft excel.
I know it sounds really dumb but if you work in a corporate setting using microsoft excel can be so useful in your job.
Number 6: learn how politics actually work.
Now, I feel like a lot of Australians, after Donald Trump won, have educated themselves on how US politics work
but have very little idea about how Australian politics work.
We need to up our game.
Number 7: learn how to write an email that people actually read.
It's like an art form that I still have not mastered but I am getting there slowly.
Number 8: learn how to make a fancy cocktail or fancy coffee/hot chocolate.
Because you'll feel like a pro when you can offer your friends fancy drinks when they come over.
Number 9: learn how to make lots of different finger foods.
Because once again, you will be the envy at all the office parties,
which, I mean if that's not your goal in life, what is?
Number 10: learn how to use the manual mode on your dslr camera.
It's pretty easy to grasp the basics of a dslr camera and you will just get better and better from there.
Number 11: learn how to style and take good photos.
This is such a useful thing to get good at if you ever want to do anything online,
like a youtube channel, instagram, blog, anything like that.
Number 12: learn how to create videos.
Not even fancy videos, just learn how to piece a few snippets together and hit upload.
Number 13: learn about nutrition and diet.
What food do you need to live longer, how much of what when?
*laugh* That sounded aggresive!
You can tell that i know a lot about nutrition.
But seriously knowing about nutrition and dieting kinda stuff is a life long skill that will be forever helpful.
Like that knowledge will never not be used.
Number 14: learn how to do laundry properly.
Actually understanding and following all the little weird symbols.
Number 15: learn how to make basic online designs.
This can be such a useful thing to do. It wil let you like design your own little invitations, pinterest images if you ever start a blog.
It's just a foundational thing and it is so easy to learn with all the tools that are out there these days.
Number 16: learn how to read faster.
Learning how to read faster is a really useful skill mainly if you are reading non-fiction books, I wouldn't recommend it for fiction books.
Number 17: learn makeup.
Become a pro at putting on fake eyelashes,
get comfortable with a crease cut,
make your goal of 2017 to have instagram famous eyebrows.
Number 18: learn how to say no more.
Number 19: learn how to public speak.
Being good at public speaking is useful in so many situations.
And last up - number 20: learn to play an instrument.
Because with the internet, there is so much stuff out there that will help you learn to play an instrument.
So those are 20 ideas for things you could learn in 2017.
Or at 2018, or at any point in your life.
