Rec | YOUTUBE + FRIENDS

☎️

I’ve learned almost everything I know from a book (checking out library books for my hobbies) but also YouTube and friends.books and friends are nice when I feel simply overwhelmed with how much information exists on the internet about how to do literally anyrhing YouTube can help you with sillypractical skills… learning how to unjam my lock, unclog my drains, etc etc For other skills, befriend older ppl or friends that “have their shit together” Most friends are happy to teach you something or even walk alongside you while you do taxes, apartment hunt, or cook a steak :) i love when my friends teach me stuff And b patient with yourself. You can’t know everything and you’re not gonna learn it all overnight. Take small steps and stay learnin 🫡

Knowing how to change a tire

Today i got a flat tire and had to put my spare on. I pulled into a grocery store parking lot and got the job done. A few people came over to offer help, one guy had an impact drill so helped me tighten the bolts, but i felt confident that i knew what i was doing. I don’t think most people would look at me and think “yeah i bet she can change a tire in that outfit.” but i did it. It feels good to know how to do stuff. I like being able to do silly little tasks around my apartment, or change my own oil, or make a creme brulee. I’m learning french. I can mend my clothes. It feels like im just bragging but truly i feel so accomplished and grown up when i can fix small problems by myself. May this be your motivation to watch a how-to YouTube video today. Or ask someone you love to teach you how to do something that might come in handy one day.

Learning as a hobby = two birds one stone.

From the title i think we already have an idea about where this post will lead to right ? Learning as a hobby is the best thing ever, no matter what you learn (from the different type of stones to how to build a successful business) it will always interesting to bring it to the table while talking with your friends or even be able to break the ice with strangers. To be able to make it a two birds one stone hit, we could mainly focus on what could hell us “survive“ on a daily basis. For exemple : - Financial education: learning how to budget, what to prioritise, the 24h hour rule before buying something, is it a need or a want, etc … - History : deep dive in the different paths human history is an interesting thing and if you analyse it enough you could even find “tips” that helps you in your day to day life — Buddha : genuine peace and happiness in simple life — Gandhi : how to deal with conflicts by staying calm — Mandela : understanding is better than revenge — Fall of the Berlin wall : perseverance leads to transformation etc … - Cultures in different countries : learn from other countries ‘ culture just like Japan and how they have a punctuality culture / discipline and routine etc … - Learning a skill : for exemple cooking but make it more fun, why japan use rise ? What was its signification in their history/culture, its nutrition value, how to make at least 10 dishes with rise etc … - Fashion : yes we can learn a “survival“ skill from fashion just like why such piece was created and how, learning to fix your ripped pieces as a form of anti consumerism And much more to learn ... :)

Taking classes

Doing the same exercises at the same level at the same time and place with people who are interested in the same thing as you is like, one of life’s cheat codes after school (whether it’s compulsory or collegiate) especially if you’re in a new city and don’t have an existing support network / friend group (added benefit is keeping your mind active and learning and getting better at new skills 😎) I’ve taken filmmaking, comedy writing, and DJing classes and after each one I’ve picked up at least one new friend I could hit up for a coffee, dinner, or in the best case, to collaborate on a project I’m excited about but am struggling to find the motivation to get started on.
