BrainPint #10 - Keep Learning

By Janel • Issue #10 • View online

Hi friends,

This week’s newsletter is full of learning resources, including more Teachable courses for the wonderful price of free! (P.S. even if you don’t have time now, sign up for the courses and you’ll have lifetime access to them).

On a personal note, I capped off my Spanish B2.1 course this week with an oral exam and passed 🎉

Working hard now on an e-commerce site launch which I’m using as a vehicle to apply a lot of my recent learning. I’m keeping a diary of every single issue I’ve faced and how I’ve solved it along the way to enhance my learning.

As usual, let me know what you liked and disliked about the newsletter. Have a good week ahead!

With gratitude,

Janel

Notion

Notion is an all-in-one workspace that I use to manage my life. It helps me with everything - capturing interesting links, making book notes, tracking subscriptions and more! I know many who read this newsletter have already heard of it, but I’m putting this here because I don’t want anyone to miss out on this awesome tool. For examples of interesting templates that you can copy, check out this site.
