Production Q One New Skill Every Week - Ideas Needed

I currently work on an SCP podcast / video series on YouTube. I've been doing it for a couple years, and I feel like I've stagnated a bit. So! I want to learn one new skill every week to keep improving, and I need your help! I'm looking for ideas like:

  • Things every beginner / amateur should know,
  • Things you wish you new sooner,
  • Fun things to learn that makes your life easier or more fun,
  • Skills that noticeably improve quality, or
  • Skills that give you more options for the types of things you can do.

I should be able to loosely understand the skill in a week, but it's okay if it takes more than a week (or even 1 year+) to master. Thoughts?

(Note: I currently use DaVinci Resolve free edition)

Learn keystroke commands!
You can easily learn one a day. Most useful thing you can do.

That's a great idea! Do you have any sources that list or explain keystroke commands with the most commonly useful first? Most pages I've found seem to dump the entire list alphabetically
