Alright - Let’s Innovate:
I consume more content than I probably should (you do too).
Here’s how I turn consuming content into an education:
Step 1: Find a skill you want to learn.
For me - I chose Photoshop.
When you choose a skill - I’d recommend something you could utilize in your personal and work life. The more valuable the skill is - the more you’ll want to get good at it.
Step 2: Get a basic understanding of that skill.
Start with the basics.
In Photoshop - I began trying out each tool that was available. From creating shapes - to using gradients - all the way to 3D text.
Spend 30 minutes a day for 3 days doing this.
Step 3: Find areas you struggle with.
At the start of using Photoshop - I found that most of the tools were confusing. No matter how much I used a tool - I couldn’t figure out the best way to implement into my content.

This is where YouTube comes in.
I spent 1 hour a day consuming content that taught me exactly how to use the tools I struggled with.
Do this for 4 days.
Step 4: Remove distractions.
To make this entire process more effective - remove all distractions:
Clean your desk.
Mute your phone.
Use 1 monitor (fewer tabs).
After 7 days - you’ll be at an intermediate level with the skill you chose.
A skill like Photoshop has helped me create LinkedIn posts which have generated almost 1,000,000 in 90 days.
Efficient time management > abundance of time.
Focus on what actually helps - not what takes a long time (so it feels productive).
