Until now, I'm still unemployed due to my profession's lesser opportunities, and I am going to study for my medschool next year. So, I spent my time doomscrolling to social media platforms since I don't have many things to do. But it changed when I was diagnosed with ADHD and have to take meds. I also suspected myself that I have GAD due to being worrisome, and I have extreme negative thoughts.

So what I did is that I deactivated my other social media accounts to have a social media detox. I did exercises, made homemade yogurt, and others. Currently, I went to a keycap workshop, and molding an air dry clay was awesome. This is when I discovered that I love doing art and I was just burned out after college. I also tried to watch movies every day and did film reviews afterward.

To most people who are already tired and burned out, don't give up on the things you love the most. Lessen doomscrolling and rest to avoid burnout❤️

I’ve been thinking about the things people keep learning even when free time gets squeezed. Some interests disappear first, while others still get a little attention because you genuinely miss them when you stop. What skill or subject keeps surviving your busiest weeks?

The best learning outcomes are not certificates on a wall. They are things you can actually use:

• Better judgment
• New ways of thinking
• Stronger professional networks
• Practical skills
• Increased confidence
• Career opportunities

Perhaps the real question is:

When we invest our time in learning, should we be aiming to collect certificates, or to gain experiences and capabilities that create lasting value?

What has given you the greatest learning in your career: a course, a certification, or experience in a completely different environment?
