New Habit: Learn something daily - Learning French: I finished Duolingo app's course, now experimenting with plugins and more apps to learn French. - Learning Ukulele: I picked it some 6 months back. Still, a long way to go. Benefit: 1)When I encounter something difficult to learn, I panic less. I understand the incremental process and the highs and lows of learning a new skill/concept. 2)The fun of learning, knowing things.

New Habit: Read books of domain/genre which I used to avoid Benefit: 1) Interleaving of concepts, I cannot guarantee this happens. Found new ideas which can be used in my work line. For instance, a book on psychology can help you pitch your product better to consumers.

I strongly recommend Pimsleur language courses as an addition to Duolingo. They’re especially great if you spend any time in a car.
Thanks will give it a try.
