For the first 18 years of our life we are focused solely on learning. We study, make flash cards and brainstorm new ideas. For some of us this learning goes on well into our twenties with college. But once we leave university, most of us head into the workplace and learning falls off our to-do lists.

(Even though many of the long-term bucket lists I see include learning a language or new skill.)?

Those long term goals tend to get overlooked because they can be quite costly or because people don’t think they have the time to achieve them.

As a journalist, I’m naturally curious and love to learn. So I try to make a point to learn something new whenever I can. And I’ve put together a list of FREE resources to help you do the same.

Here are some of my favorite ways to keep learning and help you tackle that bucket list.

1) IF YOUR BUCKET LIST INCLUDES: LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE…

TRY DUOLINGO!

Has ‘Learn Italian’ been on the bottom of your list for years? Now’s the time to check it off.?Duolingo breaks down language courses into bite-sized chunks, encouraging you to study for 5-10 minutes every day. That’s a small and perfectly sustainable goal. You can use it on your desktop or on the mobile app. (Or if you don’t really want to learn a new language, cross it off your list entirely. That’s okay too!)

2) IF YOUR BUCKET LIST INCLUDES: LEARNING TO BE SUCCESSFUL…

TRY TED ED!?

Everyone is familiar with TED talks, infact my friend Dorie Clark and guest on my live-streaming show Inside Scoop, did a particularly good one! The TED Ed website is designed to spark curiosity and promote learning. The site features hundreds of thousands of videos designed to explain everything from DNA to how the bra was invented. You can even learn how to be successful.

3) IF YOUR BUCKET LIST INCLUDES: LEARNING TO CODE…

TRY CODEACADEMY!?

Coding can be very helpful. Especially to newcomer entrepreneurs looking to start their own website or make their own app. You can learn over 10 different types of code at Code Academy. And it’s designed to be easily accessible to techie novices. So you can learn to code comfortably and confidently, even if you’ve never tried before!

4) IF YOUR BUCKET LIST INCLUDES: LEARNING TO MAKE A ROBOT…

TRY MIT VIDEOS!?

MIT has thousands of videos available on their online resource. Many videos are used in their classrooms, but are also free for the general public. They have hundreds of different channels including biology, technology, arts, culture and more! You could even make your own robot.

5) IF YOUR BUCKET LIST INCLUDES: LEARNING TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE…

TRY LINKEDIN LEARNING!

Check out my LinkedIn Learning courses! My courses can help you learn new skills or reorganize to help you become more productive. From learning how to protect your time, to learning how to use lists, to how to organize your remote office, these courses will help set you up for success.

6) IF YOUR BUCKET LIST INCLUDES: LEARNING TO COOK…

TRY NIKKI DINKI COOKING!?

Making great food doesn’t always have to mean spending hours in the kitchen making a pot roast. There are many simple and easy recipes that can make you look like a pro – even if you’re prone to burning soup. Nikki takes you step-by-step through some of her classic recipes on her YouTube channel!?

(She’s also a great resource for learning how to make buzzworthy videos, if that’s what’s on your bucket list!)
