Making time for learning
With a busy career and life outside of work, it can be challenging to find time to pursue learning. To integrate learning into your life:
- Tie LinkedIn Learning courses to your goals and career development plans.
- Block out calendar time for courses. It might be helpful to leave your desk to view content on your laptop or phone.
- Find opportunities for ‘just in time’ learning using two- to three-minute videos. For example, quickly learn how to create a pivot table in Microsoft Excel or how to initiate a difficult conversation.
- Take a time management course. This may help you find more time to accomplish your goals, as well as more time for learning.
