But why is this important for you? Because my learning journey is going to change... a lot. So, first of all, I will have to pause my History degree; since this is a full-time job I'm not sure how I would be able to manage classes that take place during the day so I am going to wait to see when it will be manageable to continue this degree. However, if you've been around for a while, then you are already aware that I absolutely love learning new stuff. I decided then that I would initiate a solo learning journey and I will be focusing largely on languages. The goal here will be to learn three languages and incorporate that type of studying into a regular schedule. I will study those solely on the basis that I enjoy them and not because they will be particularly useful for my professional life. I want to share this new challenge because I believe that it can give you some insight on whether it is possible to learn new things while you have a full time job and also while you are managing a small business or engaging in a side hustle, which in my case is this YouTube channel. The purpose of this challenge will be to give you some tips, shed some light on my routines and basically just update you on my learning progress and whether it's too hard or actually manageable. My experience here on YouTube is seeing most creators abandoning full time jobs to do YouTube only, and since I'm doing the opposite, I think that sharing my experience can be positive to some of you. In my opinion having a job shouldn't only be a stepping stone towards starting a business. Some people actually want to pursue something in their field of studies and I think that should be celebrated and not frowned upon. Also, I truly believe that you can only produce content that has a reflection on your current lifestyle; as much as I love making YouTube videos, it's impossible for me to constantly make content that doesn't have an immediate applicability on my life. I prefer to put content out there that feels organic to me than using the same formula over and over again. So if you know other YouTubers who work full-time jobs and share their experiences on their channels, please name them in the subscription box because god knows I'm going to need advice. So the plan here will be to learn three languages with a variety of sources and methods; I will have a main textbook, I will be using Duolingo and I will also access other materials and resources like sound files, progressive reading materials, and workbooks. Instead of establishing hard learning goals, my main purpose will be to engage in a regular learning schedule. After that routine is established I will look into creating a goal list that keeps me on track and also creates a sense accountability. I will be sharing updates on this challenge or journey ideally once a month here on YouTube and I will also keep on uploading once a week per usual but you'll probably see the contents here varying a bit - I will also be talking about routines, habits and other productivity related things. Since my job will probably involve a big amount of studying, the note-taking, planning and organising stuff will keep on coming. Most of the editing is going to be delegated to a big friend of mine who also has a channel on YouTube which I will link down below, and that is why you can still expect regular content here. If you're also embarking in a self-learning journey yourself, you can use the study planner that I shared last week, which is basically a tool to organize and write study notes, plan for projects, index files and do anything that is related to studying or other types of academic related organization. I will also list down below a video playlist that I believe can be quite helpful, and also a list of YouTube creators who give advice on productivity and motivation and have great tools and resources as well. Also, this self-learning challenge is supposed to be experimental. The goal here is to try different types of learning, routines, note-taking techniques and organization methods and show you the results. I will tell you what works and what doesn't and that insight is supposed to help you out knowing if something can work for you or not.
