4. Pick up a book
I recommend cutting down on some screen time and opening your mind with a good book. You can always learn something from reading even if it's just a new vocabulary word.
- Kindles make it easier than ever to carry around the knowledge of the universe while you travel or curl up on the couch or even when you're going to the bathroom.

- Keep lots of books around you to be more tempted to learn from and actually read them.
