Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk Tuesday – Benefits of Exercise

For those of you who fell off the exercise wagon over the last couple years of COVID, here’s a video that will give you some things to think about when you begin again. For me, exercise helps me sleep. When I wasn’t exercising consistently, my sleep patterns were thrown way off, my appetite was off, and my energy levels were in the pits.

After reading Tim Ferris’ 4-hour body last year, I also realized that much of the hype surrounding supplements, exercise routines where you are killing yourself everyday in the gym, are all falsehoods. A few good workouts a week can do the trick and they can be done in the comfort of your home or at a gym.

I hope you learn something from this video and if you are not exercising, find a little motivation in this video to begin something, anything to get moving.

Until next time…

I am a huge fan of Elon Musk. The guy is smart and efficient. Here is a quick YouTube video discussing how he learns quickly, by placing his focus on the core ideas of a topic. Enjoy!

Have a great Tuesday, folks!

Until next time…

If you’ve ever experienced one of these, it is bad. It’s like you’re awake, yet not. It’s hard to explain. That’s why I thought Ami could explain it better. Watch this short video about a topic that may plague you. I have always found that the best way to face a fear is to understand it. Enjoy!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Thinking Thursday – Udemy

As the future unfolds, many of us will need to retool and learn new things. I decided to pursue the Python programming language. First, it’s a pretty easy language to learn. There are some things that still confuse me, but mostly, particularly with what I want to do with it, the language is very “learnable”.

I’m taking a Python course on Udemy. These courses cost money, but if you are patient, you can get most of them for less than 20 USD. It’s a real bargain when you consider that you have permanent access to the course, the instructors are outstanding in the 4-star rated and above courses, and you get so much content that you’ll be busy for a few months.

I’m enrolled in an NLP course, two Python courses, a graphic design course, two Excel courses, a digital marketing course, and a data science and business analysis course. I’m taking these because my new position in a religious organization requires that I know how to do all these things (excluding python and NLP). My goal is to complete all these courses before the end of 2021. Not a problem. I’ll get there in no time. The key is to do a little each day. By doing a little learning each day, you’ll retain the information more efficiently. To repeat, since you have lifelong access to Udemy courses you purchase, you are free to go back and review anything that you forget or need to refine. It’s a terrific service. I highly recommend it.

Is there something you’d like to learn, just to learn it? Head on over to Udemy. You won’t be disappointed.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Thinking Tuesday – How Does Anesthesia Work?

Today, we learn about anesthesia. I have always wondered how they determine what to use when we get surgery. Just like this video explains, I did not make it beyond 95, when asked to count back from 100 and awoke 7 hours later with my back repaired.

I hope you like this short little video and enjoy it. These educational videos spurred me to re-title my Tuesday posts to “Thinking Thursdays”. From today forward, I’ll be changing today’s blog post from Ted Talk Tuesday to Thinking Thursday, which will also include videos from other sources or some book or course suggestions for you to take, if you’d like.

I hope you’re having a great Tuesday!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Thinking Thursdays – Wellness

Hey all!

I decided to change my book review Thursday to Thinking Thursdays. I’ll continue to provide book reviews on Thursday, but only after I’ve finished the book :)!

Instead, since I am a huge advocate of life-long learning, I’ll be discussing what I’m learning on various online courses I’m taking. I’ll also provide you with some content surrounding any areas of interest or articles I find that are intriguing (at least to me).

I don’t have any content in this category today, but will have a lot by next Thursday!

If there is anyone that would be interested in specific content, reply here and I’ll get that to you.

Until next time…

Dave
