As we enter the new year, it's important to remember that the world is constantly changing and evolving. In order to stay competitive and successful, it's crucial that we adapt and learn new skills along the way. In 2023, there will no doubt be new technologies, industries, and opportunities emerging, and those who are able to adapt and learn will be best positioned to take advantage of them. Don't let yourself fall behind – now is the time to start learning and growing, so that you can thrive in this ever-changing world.

Define your "why" first

Knowing your 'why' is crucial in determining the right skill to learn in 2023. Your 'why' represents your values, goals, and motivations, and it serves as the driving force behind your actions and decisions. By understanding your 'why,' you can better align your learning with your long-term vision and ensure that you are investing your time and effort into skills that will bring you closer to achieving your desired outcomes. So, before you start searching for the next big thing to learn, take some time to reflect on your 'why' and let it guide you towards the skills that will help you achieve your dreams.

What’s your why? Capture your vision and post it where you'll be sure to view it daily. Hang the note by your desk, on a screen, or even set it as wallpaper for easy access from any of your devices. Make this mantra an integral part of your routine!

Practical ways to new skills

Potential problems encountered and solutions

Can't find skills to learn.

Start by discovering and utilizing Your Top Strengths. Everyone has strengths that enable them to achieve desired results with success and excellence. Then, find a mentor who shares the same strengths and study their work. For instance, if you connect with an esteemed professional in your field of interest whose abilities you wish to master, examining their portfolio or résumé can help set achievable learning objectives for yourself.

Can't find adequate course materials.

As an integral part of the learning process, discovering how to find, assess, and utilize resources to expand your knowledge is a crucial skill. Whilst there are abundant helpful assets on the web for research purposes, you may have been frustrated with poor-quality course material rather than insufficient effort.

Can't find time stock.

Everyone has the same allotted amount of time, yet so often it feels like there just isn't enough to execute our plans. If you find yourself in this predicament, chances are that you're mismanaging your own precious moments. To remedy this issue and make better use of your day-to-day schedule, learn how to implement the GTD (Getting Things Done) method into your life for optimal efficiency! You can rest easy knowing that with adequate organization and determination.

Don't know how to create a study plan.

If you're struggling to create a study plan, try different methods and stick with the best one. There are several reasons why it can be beneficial to try more than one study plan and stick with the most suitable one. First, everyone has different learning styles and preferences, so what works for one person may not work for another. By trying different study plans, you can discover what approaches are most effective for you. This can help you make the most of your study time and improve your retention of the material. Finally, even if you find a study plan that works well for you, it can be helpful to review and adjust your approach from time to time to ensure that you are making the most of your study time.

Encounter rapid changes.

Changes always go beyond plans. When it comes to executing plans, we often find ourselves falling behind because of various obstacles that arise. Learning process is not about hard lines and perfect edges. Forgive yourself for not sticking exactly to the plan. Regularly assess your plans and take proactive steps to initiate transformation. Review your plans for each week and month at their respective conclusion so that any necessary adjustments can be made in time.
