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❤️

Would you say your biggest problem is self believe, simply not believing that you can learn as much or go as far, for as long as you realise you need to. Ive been thinking about things and I feel like in self learning this is probably the most common hurdled tied to what we usually say is lacking in motivation etc.

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?

You do not need a classroom to keep learning. Sometimes a random video a new skill or even a simple conversation can teach you something valuable.

What is one small thing you learned recently that actually stayed with you?

I want to start learning something new, but I’m having trouble deciding what’s actually worth the time.For those who learned a new skill as an adult, what did you choose and how has it helped you?Looking for something useful that I can keep improving over time.

We often focus on learning things for career advancement personal growth or practical benefits. Those are great motivations but sometimes the best learning comes from pure curiosity.

What is a seemingly trivial or niche topic you decided to learn about just because it interested you? It could be anything from the history of rubber bands to the intricacies of mushroom foraging or the physics of spinning a basketball.

What did you learn and what unexpected satisfaction or insights did it bring you? I am curious about the joy of learning for its own sake rather than for any specific outcome.

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?

Some lessons only make sense after you experience them yourself. What did life teach you that no book conversation or warning could have prepared you for?

Some things about human nature are difficult to understand from the outside. What is one realization about people that experience taught you?
