Here are three tips for kick-starting your learning efforts.
1. Find the time!
The #1 career goal for professionals in 2018 is to learn a new skill - but not everyone knows where to fit learning into their daily lives. Here's a tip: In today's ever-connected digital world, we're living in the era of bite-sized learning, where new skills can be honed in minutes on the subway, or while you're eating breakfast.
Start by picking 5- to 10-minute windows in your daily routine - you don't need to find hours, minutes are fine. For example, try skimming through courses on a Sunday night, and make a wish list of courses to view throughout the week, whenever it's convenient for your busy life.
2. Make it a habit
They say a habit is formed in 21 days. Whenever you slot learning into your daily schedule, try to pick a time when you can make it routine - whether it's on the bus during your morning commute, or in the 10 minutes after you brush your teeth at night. You'll be growing in your skills before you know it. Fun fact: LinkedIn Learning also sets a reminder for you, so it's one less thing you have to remember in your day.
