Episode description

In this episode, we will talk about the importance of learning as a software engineer. Both in and out of your job. 

The only way to grow as human is to learn. But it is hard to take out time to read everyday. After a whole day of intense mental work, we are usually too tired to act on that time. Although there is no way to go around it, a better way is to set task not time. If you get extra 10 minutes, take that to accomplish your task of learning out of job in that 10 minute. Read faster. If you get 30 instead, awesome, try 30 that day.  

Setting weekly tasks might work as well if you are too busy all weekdays. 

Read blogs, subscribe to newsletters, read books, watch videos, whatever works for you. Personally, I would suggest physical books so you can take a break from digital devices.
