Evaluate credibility and relevance

Put on your detective hat and investigate the credibility of your learning sources.

Look for hidden gems with trustworthy authors, instructors, or experts.

Don’t be afraid to seek the wisdom of fellow adventurers and read reviews to find the most exciting and relevant learning treasures.

Consider learning formats

Are you more of a book explorer, a podcast pirate, or a webinar adventurer?

For me, I prefer to read a book when I need to understand deeply a thing. I see Youtube videos or scan over tutorials when I need quickly cooking something success. I visit Wikipedia when I search for a new concept, and even contribute to Wikipedia when it doesn’t have that concept.

Discover the learning format that sets your heart aflutter. Choose the medium that makes you want to dance in your learning boots and dive deep into the knowledge ocean.

Seek recommendations

Set sail on a quest for recommendations from your crew of friends, mentors, and fellow explorers. Navigate the vast online communities and share stories of the most thrilling learning adventures.

Together, you can uncover hidden gems and trade tales of wisdom.

Set learning priorities

Time is a precious treasure, so chart your course wisely.

Pick the learning treasures that align closely with your goals and passions. Create a treasure map of your learning journey and mark the X on the spots that make your heart race with excitement.

Lifelong learning

Avast ye, landlubber!

Learning is a grand adventure that never ends.

Keep your spirit of curiosity alive and explore new shores. Navigate uncharted waters, try new skills, and embrace the joy of lifelong learning.

Remember, it’s the journey that counts, so have a blast along the way!
