As for me I learned to cook my own food. I realized it is much cheaper and healthier. I also learned to cut my own hair. Saved me money going to the barber plus I can do it anytime I want.
How about you?
I haven't had time to develop any new skills since I'm still working from home. Personally, I've never found making my own food cheaper. I recently tried baking bread and with the cost of all the ingredients, I could have purchased an artisan loaf for less. I've made my own lemonade with fresh lemons and sugar. Again that cost more than buying a bottle of lemonade. Also, I usually have to buy more ingredients than I need and end up throwing the remainder away. The pros are it's fresher and probably healthier and you know exacty what is in it.
@UKGuy sounds like you could learn (if desired) how to better cook for yourself, ha. Definitely are ways to plan and cook meals to minimize waste and save a lot of money... 😇
I have honed my procrastination skills to a razor-sharp precision! Other than that, not much. Yet. lol Imajen
@ImajenMoon
True story :
I arrived late for a business meeting, and apologised by saying, "Sorry I'm late, I was procrastinating".
No-one either knew what the word meant, or felt courageous enough to ask me. 😀
@geof1000 That's awesome. The kind of stuff I would say back in the corporate office that would make my boss scratch his head. Why I never fit in there and am much more suited to self-employment, lol. I hope you dare better than I did. O:-)
I have learned to enjoy time at home. I typically spend a lot of time out when I'm not working, and going out if town when able. I don't watch TV but a friend gave me her Netflix password so I've been watching that , and walking my poor dogs legs off. Spending time just being still and quiet and appreciating nature
I learned how bad fast food is for you !!. I'm real bad about getting fast food and I find it hard to cook for 1 person. I noticed my belt was getting lose, so I weighed myself, which I hate to do, I've always said the scales were wrong, so I bought a doctors scale and I'm loosing weight. I am cooking way more then I have ever done in my life !!!!. And I find talking to myself is not all bad, I like the answers I get, LOL, I would like to lose like 20lbs if I could, it would make me happy and at least one person on this site, that commented if I lost some weight maybe I could get more cuddles, LOL As soon as this mess is over, I'm heading north to the mountains !!! Please everyone stay SAFE!!!!!
@waynewv "at least one person on this site, that commented if I lost some weight maybe I could get more cuddles" Really? Lol. 🤯 Wow. You look far from even possibly deserving that comment. But I hope you meet your personal goals. 😊
I can't say I learned any new skills. But, I can say I've been doing new things with existing skills. Let's see now.
@ubergigglefritz , thanks, I laughed at it !!!. I hope all is going well, stay safe
@geoff1000 & @ubergigglefritz ~ lol I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face! lol Wooo! @waynewv~ LOVE THE PIC!!! I hope you get to go "Mountaineering" soon! @SoulcuddlerZ ~ Care to share a link about such opportunities??? If not, it's okay--just thought I'd ask. Working from home suddenly seems like a really, really cool thing to do! lol Imajen @pmvines ~ Sooo feel you on "being still." I miss my Nature walks, these days..
I've been learning computer programming/coding! Here is a pictorial montage of my typical day of learning:
