Like me, you probably spend a good percentage of your time browsing the Internet. After you’re done answering emails, reading articles on your favourite blogs, and checking your social media profiles you should spend your time learning new things.
I believe people should always strive to better themselves. There are thousands of YouTube channels dedicated to helping you expand your mind.
