In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it is easy to push off continuing education. The to-do list is already so long—is it worth the time to sit in on a webinar? Heck, yeah, it is!
I was reminded of this just today. There is a software program that I use fairly frequently. I considered myself pretty good at it, but I thought there might be a few tricks I could learn so I signed up for a webinar. My mind was blown! There was so much more that it could do than I could have imagined. I was using it successfully before, but now I will get much more out of it and get it done faster as well.
My experience this morning reminded me of the importance of continual learning. Regardless of how long you have been doing something, there is always something more to know. Maybe it is new functionality that was recently released. Maybe it is something that you never tried because what you were doing was “good enough”. Maybe you are just stuck in your same old routine. Expanding your horizons by continual learning keeps you on top of your game.
