The CK Daily – How do you prefer to learn?
Happy Friday, folks! I’m a life-long learner. I enjoy learning new things and putting that knowledge into action. Another fun fact is I exclusively read non-fiction. I’ve never been able to get into fiction, a story for another day. 😀
I consume content in two primary ways: books (physical or audio) and a web course. I also include YouTube help videos as a source of learning, although you won’t get a certification for those!
There are many learning avenues, including reading a physical book, reading a book on a Kindle (or Kindle app), listening to Audible, watching videos, and attending virtual or in-person workshops. Which way do you prefer to learn? Have a great weekend!
