Do you schedule time to learn/grow and if so, what do you do with that time?

You hear "experts" say that they schedule time for personal development. But do real people actually put time in the calendars to read, study or otherwise engage with their area of expertise?

 

When I asked Christopher Jerjian and Michael Davis this question, both of them told me they read. Not fiction or for fun. Work related stuff.

 

Michael has created a habit of reading for 15 minutes a day every day at lunch.

 

I thought about that after our conversation and I wondered if 15 minutes would be enough for me to feel like I had accomplished anything.

 

But then I thought about the e-newsletters I read and realized I could likely read two or three in a 15-minute window.

 

Other options that came up were watching videos (you can learn to do almost anything using YouTube these days) and taking courses with other experts in the same field as you.

 

Do you schedule time to learn and grow your brain or do you let it happen as it fits in?
