Introduction
Internet – the word which know almost everybody on this World. Lots of people used to use the Internet as a source of environment (e.g. games, movies) because everyday they have to hard work and then this group of people want to feel comfortable. Another group prefer to spend a free time outside through go to a park, to a forest and feel free there – many space away from a job, troubles…
If you tell anyone about increasing a knowledge after a job, this person could think that you are stupid and probably you don’t know what means a ‘hard work’ at job. I agree with this person, but… someone told her/him that it must takes a huge effort ? 😉 In this post I am going to show you few ways to be smarter what is important for developers and not only.
Ways to increase knowledge
Assuredly you have to use a mean of transport to be at job, because not everyone is a freelancer, haven’t you ? 🙂 A car, a train, a bike…. it doesn’t matter but then you have a possibility to be smarter during going to a job, to school…. What did I write ? Am I sure ? I am sure ! 🙂 Have you ever heard about audiobooks and podcasts ? Probably yes, but did you use once ?
In my opinion, one of the best way to be smarter is… listening podcasts and audiobooks. Why ? Undoubtedly, you want to be smarter and you haven’t a free time for this and you don’t like reading books, but you have a phone and headphones, yeah ? 🙂 So, here is my tip: download a podcast or an audiobook for your mobile phone, turn on and just listen during going to job, school, university, meeting etc. What is the difference beetwen listening and reading a book ? By listening you will be able to have more books in category ‘read in 100%’ than even starting reading a book. If you want to read a book, you have to have silence, free time, focus… but if you turn on podcast, for example in a car you will be listening and it is a chance to finish listening an audiobook or a podcast in a week. (for example during driving to job and coming back). Try this and you will see a difference 😉 Many people use this and their highly recommend this way.
My second tip for you is… watching 🙂 Assuredly you like watching videos on YouTube, but have you ever thought about watching something more interesting ? I encourage you to go on YouTube and there subscribe smart people from field what you are interested in. I like programming very much so I subscribe:
Maciej Aniserowicz, devstyle.pl
John Sonmez, simpleprogrammer.com
Beyond these people, I like watching (in a free time) persons who give a tips about life, marketing, leading a business. I highly recommend:
Irreplaceable Mirosław Burnejko, Chmurowisko CEO
Gary Vaynerchuk, VaynerMedia CEO
Many people have installed Snapchat on their phones. Is it helpful ? Few persons could say ‘No’, but I tell you that Snapchat is useful. Yeah ! There you can also know something new and it requires only few seconds/per a snap because people like Gary Vaynerchuk, Maciej Aniserowicz give there also a knowledge.
What do you think about my ways ? Maybe you have your own an unique way ? Share below in the comment field 😉
