Break your week into blocks or steps:
• Work Time: Your job or income-generating tasks.
• Learning Time: Daily or weekly sessions for study, online courses, or reading.

For Example:
Work: 40 hours/week
Learning: 7–10 hours/week (1–2 hours daily which shuld be never miss at any point)
Rest/Social/Personal: Balance accordingly

4. Monetize While You Learn
• Freelance or Part-Time Work in your field of interest to gain both income and experience but the thig is you have to be patient and regular.

• Certifications in high-demand areas (like safety, IT, or design) can immediately increase your earning and learning power because these are the highly demanding 🫴 skills.

5. Review and Adjust Regularly
At the end of each month:
• Ask yourself what worked and what you achieved in your last month.

• Celebrate your progress, even small wins! But it will boost your courage and give you some kind of push.
