Becoming productive without spending too much money.

[kentrolla]

Are we underestimating the traditional education or the ones learnt while doing it practically? No doubt YouTube has emerged as a very good platform for us where we can learn new skills and the existing skills as well but there are other platforms as well and guess who are these YouTubers teaching you skills? They are the ones who learn from practical and from institutes so let's not miss out on the importance of traditional education.

You sure did set the tone straight with this post and for those of us who feel discouraged sometimes because we feel our effort in learning something new or upgrading on the knowledge we already have is too much work and commitment.
The worst is having close people and family call out one for learning something online because they feel it's a waste of time and then criticize until one abandons the effort to improve.

I think being productive will require one to be selfish with their time, attention, money and become more secretive so that others don't spoil the good thing going on until it is time to reveal the knowledge.

YouTube has helped a lot of us including me get hold of information that may require a professional opinion and I also like the fact that  our network providers sometimes will give out free bonuses of YouTube subscriptions just so the customer can have an advantage of learning anything on YouTube for cheaper data rates than before. Am speaking from what's happening in my country, I don't know about yours and their tolerance for YouTube videos.

Education is clearly very important in life and perhaps everyone in some countries also requires their citizens to go to school. So it cannot be denied that if someone has undergone a level of education, he will be formed into a human being who has a broad mindset to create great work. I think a person's creativity will also be formed due to the right mindset, so that it will make it easier for them to carry out activities. So I agree that education should not be abandoned.

Obviously people can pick up skills that will make them richer in the future if they can spend a lot of time on it. Like for example AI is such a big deal right now and there is a new job called "AI prompt engineer", and if you learn that and be great at it, then you are going to be able to actually make some money from it, not going to be all that easy but can happen.

This is why I believe that the best thing we can do right now would be just making sure that we are not involved with something useless and just spending every ounce of time we have efficiently. If you learn something that can make some money then you are going to be fine and the results you are going to have will be fine as well. That's what you should consider.

You should also not underestimate the power of Artificial Intelligence, because it is a great new tool to help you to learn a new skill.

It is also a new tool that will chamge the world as we know it, because most basic tasks will be replaced by AI based technologies and people need to know how to use it to their advantage.

First, the founders of ChatGPT called their creation a preprogrammed software.
2nd, it is full of fantasy, as the data the software learns from is full with fantasy (at best) so is the learned software.
3rd, you need a heck of time to check the output and you need to know what you are checking. 
4rth, the "AI" could certainly enhance your spelling.

That is why we need to utilize and use or grab these opportunities especially what has been offered from the technological advancements because if we just ignore it and do not explore it's usefulness and benefits to our lives then we won't become productive instead we may become stuck.

Yes If we want to be more productive we have to give time to ourselves while learning Multi-Skills and this thing will make our worth, make poolish and groom us all we need is just focus on the self abilities i mean if we feel we can have to ability to learn multi skills we should start to learn it rather than wasting time on useless thing we should focus on learning skills and in the later time it will really worth us. Multi-skills will help us to survive easily in the race of life as we have multiple talents to fight against situations.

Well in my opinion, we need not invest much money in learning so many things as these days we can find easily so much desired and helpful material on social media like YouTube there we can find the Playlist of courses we want to learn we should make it cost-effective I mean if our problem can be solved throughout YouTube why should we give money to any institution to teach us? These days really want to focus not much money on learning skills, So dedicate your time to learning multiple things rather than wasting time on useless things what do you say about it?

AI is one of the most popular tools nowadays that helps us easier things that in the past is almost impossible but with the help of artificial intelligence ? we are now facing easier life and shorter in time consumption .

It is also a new tool that will chamge the world as we know it, because most basic tasks will be replaced by AI based technologies and people need to know how to use it to their advantage.

actually it is moving now there are many company nowadays that lessen their human employee because of the help from computer that brings also negative effect.

I'm pretty productive at work, and it doesn't cost me anything. Rather, the boss pays me.

[Volimack]

Productivity is very important in any business. Many fail to perform as planned at work or cannot demonstrate the required productivity. When you have too many important tasks at hand the pace of work can be disrupted. Because you may be confused about which task to do first. It takes a lot of time to make decisions before starting work the solution in this case may be to prioritize work.

The modernization enabled everyone to learn bit just one who can afford the college that is what makes the big difference, now degree worth nothing and only the skill is given the priority on job requirement and everywhere else so one who have the right knowledge can get the job that is big difference compared to the old days.

Well, we are in AI era and we don't know how long it will take to complete the AGI which eliminate the need of human involvement and start solving problem on its own.

That's right, it is a very precious resource that everyone has. Rich and poor have the same 24 hours and there is the difference on how we're spending it.

The rich people are leveraging their money so that they use other people's time. While us, employees, we sell our time for service and they pay us with money.

Them, they pay money so they can buy our time. Being productive depends on what kind of person you are but we all want to make use of our time worthwhile.

Even though Youtube can be a place for you to get a new skill that you're searching for, don't underestimate the paid ones.

School isn't scam, they already help you when you were young until now, where you can use your brain to think what to do's and don'ts.

Private class, paid seminar, paid consultation etc aren't scam, instead of exploring into Youtube and choosing the contents, those skilled people can help you to point out what's the thing you're looking for and help you to understand.

i agree with you that paid ones are not always bad, in fact i could say that there are good things to studying with paid ones (only if you can afford it). usually paid ones provide more focused material and participants/students can even get direct experience from teachers/mentors and that can help them to develop well. so if someone can afford to go to school or attend seminars, then that is a good thing to attend, because they can get various things which can help them learn better.

After all it's all a matter of how you truly want it. You can buy $1000 course and slack off. Well yes being in a paid subscription is an advantage because most of the time it comes with a community and mentorship along the way and that will speed up your learning or profit curve. I would say, Youtube have a great benefit of supplementing knowledge of thing you already know or those within reach of your curiosity. But if the network that is you are looking for or  guidance, then find a person that are already successful on the field that you want to pursue and learn from them. Interact with them. Because it's not about the knowledge that you are paying, it should be the experience, network, the mindset, and behavior that you want to get.

Productive means cheaper way of doing such thing and yeah I have applied this for many times now , it may not in technological but in real life physically .
like when I am doing house works that i need not to pay laborer because I use google and youtube to learn what to do and to not spend more .
actually this is what i called Practicality mate.

YouTube have made it easier for people to learn and acquire different skills without Spending much money as you can literally just open your app and search for something you wish to know about and just watch the video maybe repeatedly, before you will realize you are already getting familiarized with what you want to know.

Op this I totally agree with you mostly in the area if the phrase of YouTube, for I realized has this YouTube help me to pass a course I was studying after reading without practical it was through YouTube I know the practical way if the thing.

Many felt that all thing is money but little money can make you achieve what might have cost you millions because of the use of internet, my brother use YouTube to learn forklift operator and when through interview and past without deriving the first time despite being a practical something.

What killed many today believing that every thing is tide down to too much money is ignorance, the level of knowledge and exposure you gather can facilitate shifting you to another level of life .

The believe that the internet is currupted and failed to utilize it good nature due to ignorance, why some is course by misplaced priority such as only social media chart and watch of nude or pornography.
