like were you obsessed with ancient egypt? ghosts? whales? making art? I guarantee learning about this as an adult will make you happy, especially if it serves no obvious function in your life right now

Find something that tickles ur brain and dive in, ideally sitting at a desk and having some kind of place to take notes, write questions you have, and note down resources. I think it can really improve your relationship to yourself to see that ur capable of not just scrolling mindlessly for hours, but for caring deeply about a topic, treating it seriously and with curiosity. Doesn’t need to be an intellectual topic at all! I’ve just started lap swimming so am ‘studying’ freestyle technique, what drills to do, the swimming styles of various Olympians etc

In an age where we ‘make’ so much stuff to live as content for entertainment I’ve been enjoying making purely for learning. An artist I want to learn about? I’ll make a video about it. An old film process I’m interested in? I’ll write a page or two on it. Learning through making has me much more engaged with the topic I’m interested in as well as allows me to create stuff without the burden of worrying if it’s good. It’s like adult homework. And you can do it about anything. Highly recommend.

i love being an information sponge! it doesn't matter if the subjects have no direct connection to your chosen trade– by proxy of you learning about these topics, your brain starts making connections and allows you to think more creatively about how you approach problems within your life and maybe even your career field!

“Wanna be friends?” is an underutilized tactic in adulthood. Kindergarteners know what’s up.

This is a type of walk I do almost every day. Walk in one direction until you hit a stoplight. Then immediately turn and walk in the new direction until you hit a stoplight and repeat until you get back home.
