Lower Engagement Learning on my Extra Monitor at Work?
08-22-2017, 12:51 PM
I work at a job where I have 4 computer screens but really only use 2-3 actively...currently I just have the 4th monitor split between email and Youtube/Spotify and such.
I realized I can probably make better use of my 40+ hours a week with this extra screen, and was wondering what your best recommendations on this forum are for things that I could be learning while doing my other work?
It can't be anything too complex as I need to focus on my work to some extent of course, but I'd like to make better use of my time than just listen to music.
So - any ideas? Can be specific podcasts, a video series on Youtube or some other website, a language learning course, etc...just throw any ideas you may have at me, or even just websites that have more ideas.
Thanks!

Since you'b be at work... I wouldn't recommend anything Game related & all. I'd recommend you listen to something related to Investing. That's the only improvement aspect really safe for work consumption.

I'll second your local library. Mine has free subscription based content. Also, if you find a quality YouTube channel or two dedicated to learning something specific, it can be great. Not everything has to be cat videos.

Are you familiar with
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ thousands of interesting articles on hundreds of interesting topics.

Out of all the reason to slack at work, and all the motivations to learn something new, this is the first use of "too many screens" I've ever encountered.

Build a side biz, freelance, maybe see if you are any good at trading.
