Life Have you learnt any new skills during the lockdown ?

I love this question. Apparently it's also what Mark Cuban now asks people he's interviewing to see how they react in tough situations.

I personally learned patience and persistence. I also learned that above all, if we focus on what we love then it's much easier to keep pushing when the going gets tough.

My aim in video games is really awful, so i've tried this program called "aim lab". I've also been using others like Aiming Pro, Kovvaks and More. Over the past 20 hours i've played them my aim has really improved and i am more precise. I just need to work on my tracking.

The main "hobby" I've picked up in lockdown is YouTube, since I started my YouTube channel this year while in quarantine! Other than that, I've also learned to juggle, which was super fun and easier than I expected it to be. Plus, I then made a YouTube video about trying juggling challenges, so I actually combined those two new, fun hobbies

I've learned to be at home. Prior to COVID I travel about 150000+ miles a year. It's not a skill per se, but being able to just sit quietly at home has taken a ton of adjustment.

I've learnt gardening in lockdown and I must say it is the great thing that I've learnt this It keeps me close to nature. Gardening is very interesting because you get to know how to plant vegetables and flowers and how to take of them. I found it best meditation because no one is better than nature.

I learnt how to use GIMP for my thumbnails

Did you find it challenging? I've been using Photoshop for so long that GIMP is actually quite a learning curve for me.

Not really man, at first I was thinking 'What are all these buttons?' but I picked it up fairly quickly.

I enjoy painting a lot, but I got busy with school, work, and just life so I didn't get much time to paint for a while. I also wanted to make my channel more active, bigger, and to finally be able to monetize my videos. So when lockdown started, I found I had a lot more time so I started painting again (I have more than 6 completed paintings) and had time to make more videos and just make my channel better. After some adjusting the videos that were already on my channel, I can officially say as of last week I am finally monetized

I tried ti learn to yodle LOL! I know it workes technically, but, now I just need to perfect it hahah

Youtube is my lock down skill. I set up the channel and posted a bit a few years ago, but really tried during quarantine. Basically absorbing knowledge on algorithms, editing, thumbnails and anything else was what lifted me out of a funk. Even if nothing ever comes of this channel, learning new skills and stepping out of my comfort zone makes it all worth it.

Well YouTube has been my lock down project! And so the skill most improved would be video editing! I try to learn one new thing in Resolve each video. Its amazing how much there is to learn.
