What skills are you building over time?

What skills are you building over time?

For me, it's practicing Mandarin / Pinyin. I do 2 hours a day minimum. 3-6 hours a day on weekends. Watching Chinese movies, TV, handriting, etc. Planning to take it deep (HSK 4 and beyond) as long as I'm living in China.

P.S. If you are a world traveller, then learn to love learning languages! Language study felt like such a chore in high school. But as an adult having been exposed to French, Mongolian, and Korean (and soon Chinese) in countries that speak these as native languages, I've found they open up to you so many opportunities when you learn thier languages.

You become an object of total fascination which in my experience has been great for career and dating.

I am practicing to become fluent with the guitar.

Sometimes 10 minutes a day is enough, sometimes I need to grind 4+ hours a day. It depends on the area I want to improve in. Requirements can vary.

To improvise over jazz for example I need to practice multiple hours a day if I want to make significant progress. But ear training on the other hand, 10 minutes a day goes a long way.


I am the impossible made reality.
