How to continue with the training (even if you think you do not have time)

How to continue with the training (even if you think you do not have time)

• YouTube is a rich source of knowledge available to everyone.
• You can listen to interesting podcasts or audiobooks on the way to work, while doing sports or when you walk the dog.
• Mentors can be a rich and simple way to learn.

We all know that continuous training is essential for the development of any professional career , and that employers (and the market) constantly demand that workers adapt to new times. The problem? That there are few people who have time to continue with the training.

The working days, which in themselves tend to be quite extensive in Spain, dilate late, and that without counting the work that almost all we do for the company from home in our spare time. To this we must add the tasks of the home and the little ones to socialize with family, friends or friends. So where do I get the time to study? Well, we give you five tips that The Muse highlights  and that we hope will be useful:

1. YouTube is a rich source of knowledge available to everyone. You can find channels of any topic that may interest you, and learn a lot from highly qualified and prepared people. When you have a few free minutes and you find yourself watching videos of kittens on this platform, change the chip and look for a channel that is enriching for you and your career.
2. There are many companies, especially larger ones, which allocate part of their budgets for the training of their employees . If this is your case, do not hesitate a second to spend your part. Attend an interesting conference, sign up for a course to improve your communication skills, improve your computer skills ... There are a thousand skills you can learn. Your boss does not put a damn for training? Try to allocate a part of your salary every month so that, once a year, you can pay for a course that improves your expectations as a worker. If you do not have a lot of money, you can always opt for free online courses.
3. On the way to work, while doing sports, when you walk the dog ... Surely during the day you have a few minutes that you can complete with listening to a podcast or an audiobook . So you will not lose a second of your time, and you will see how you learn new things without even realizing it.
4. Mentors can be a rich and simple way to learn, since nothing better than growing as a professional when listening to the advice and experiences of a consecrated worker. If your company enjoys these programs, sign up without hesitation; if not, go on LinkedIn, attend conferences or try to learn from that co-worker who has an unblemished career.
5. The city in which you live can also be used as a stage to learn. In addition to visualizing or attending professional talks, such as the TED talks, you can improve your cultural level in museums, theaters, exhibition halls, cinema, documentary screenings 

We can all become better professionals thanks to continuous training, but this does not have to focus exclusively on typical aspects of the profession. Learn and improve your knowledge about music, history, art, architecture, interior design ... No matter which topic you choose , the important thing is that your mind is always eager for new knowledge.
