I have found that I didn't something new skill this year. I wish to know things that I didn't knew before. I usually check youtube to learn things I didn't knew before. There are some of the channels that make you learn some things quickly. For example, I learned how to clean the garlic by putting them into bottle and shaking them. So skills such as this can be really handy. There are many other good skills that you can learn online. Have you tried any such skills. I am thinking of finding youtube channels who focus on such small skills. It can be really handy if we learn all that.

@skysnap Using that + an old Spanish text I picked up a used book store. Duolingo cost my favorite price: free. How did you like duolingo? Have you completed it? I've only been using it for about 2-3 weeks.

I like to learn new things, especially about house plants. It seems like I have been learning a lot of little things lately that I didn't know before.

I am learning some technicalities in blogging. With the help of my friend, I am able to learn some procedures on how to set up my blog. I am also trying to learn how to write more effectively. I have been practicing writing a lot lately. I want to discipline myself so that I can achieve my dreams.

@skysnap Thank you so much. I am trying to work on each page of my blog once a week. I wish I could write fast but I always doubt my writing and would always go for someone to review it first before I do the publishing part.

@annierose yes small steps definitely help. you can also use schedule feature for posting on days when you don't feel like posting. This way I usually schedule posts few months in advance.

Really , we can shake off the covering of the garlic by putting them in a bottle and shaking them . I suppose they were at first pressed before putting them in the bottle . I have no more time to watch some things at other sites .
