Use Wikipedia to gather info as well as Youtube. Im learning Japanese so to not get bored I listen to podcasts in the language or watch movies with subtitles on. There are more ways to learn aside from textbooks. Use all the technology!
I watch YouTube videos, practice skills i want to improve. I spent an hour testing lighting shots the other day. Tomorrow I’m planning to look up plans to DIY a desk. Make it what you want it.
Have you tried learning a new language? I am using an app called Duolingo, and whenever study and learn time comes up, I use that app or do my homework for school.
