Personal Skills IWTL how to explain something I've just learned without repeating the source

6 Upvotes

What is a good way to practise explaining a new topic in my own words?

I'd like to get past remembering the wording and find out whether I actually understand it. What do you do when your explanation sounds fine but falls apart as soon as someone asks a follow-up question?

Misc IWTL how to use chopsticks because I'm starting to lose hope

4 Upvotes

I swear I’ve tried learning how to use chopsticks so many times, and I just CAN’T seem to get the hang of it!
Everyone around me makes it look so effortless, meanwhile I’m over here fighting for my life trying to pick up a single piece of food. 😂
I’ve watched tutorials, tried copying how other people hold them, and somehow my fingers just refuse to cooperate.
At this point, I’m starting to feel hopeless lol.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks that actually helped them learn? Especially if you struggled with them at first!
Please tell me this is a skill I can still learn as an adult. 😭

Personal Skills IWTL different ways to annotate while reading.

4 Upvotes

I've recently been trying to get back into redaing but I've never liked how my annotating looked in my books. How do people do it and make it neat still?? I've thought of having a notebook with them in it but notebooks get lost and ruined very quickly in my experiences, and I like to be able to just open the book and have them easily found. Thanks in advance💜.

Personal Skills IWTL how to turn a tutorial into something I can do on my own

• Upvotes

What is a useful practice step between following a tutorial and doing the same thing without it?

I'd like to learn a method I can use for different practical skills. Do you repeat the example from memory, change one part, or try a separate small task? What has helped you notice where you still need guidance?

Misc IWTL how to figure what to study further?

3 Upvotes

So I have done my Bachelor's and MBA but I did my master's from a college that I don't feel is good enough for me.

I want to study further but from a very good college and placement options.

The problem is that I am not able to figure out exactly what I should study. I think I don't want to do another MBA because I just don't see the returns. I am earning somewhere similar to what my counterparts are earning who studied from the high prestigious colleges of my country. But on a global level might still not be at par.

But I have varied interests- from psychology to economics to forensics to marketing.

How should I go about exploring this to make a decision?

Hi I'm a creative writer (poetry, storytelling, spoken word) I'm also a public speaker and performer and have been looking for ways to commercialize these skills. Recently, I took interest in copy writing and highly resonate with it. I intend to learn as much as I can before pursuing it professionally. Is there anyone willing to guide me on this?

Social Skills IWTL to stop being passive aggressive

3 Upvotes

when i ask my close friend for a feedback, they always said that i have sarcastic jokes and sometimes can be passive aggressive (in a playful way; i never had beef with any of my friends).

but last october i got broken up with my ex. i was the one who got betrayed, and my passive aggressiveness towards this matter is at the roof. i have the urge to speak up about my personal lesson learned in my instagram/tiktok post. i still love my ex, i think my love and care was and still is real, but i lost respect for her because she chose to do the opposite of everything she said on her own.

but deep down, i know it’s not mature to always repost about the betrayal stuff since it’s almost one year since the breakup… any advice?

Arts/Music/DIY Iwtl New hobby(hopefully)

1 Upvotes

Hello, I really want to get making music and posting it online, I discovered a passion for it while in school, and now I really want to pursue it. I just not sure what the best starting tools or process. I want to make nerdcore music(ex. Daddyphatsnaps, Gameboyjones, Rustage, and etc.) I made a promise to myself, to genuinely try and give this a real attempt. If anyone is knowledgeable I would be really grateful and appreciative for the advice.
P.S. the platform I want to reside in are, YT, and most other popular music streaming sites.

I work an office job and whenever I get home all I want to do is sit on bed and scroll on Reddit. I know this is bad for my spine but I can’t stop doing it

Academics iwtl how to sell adult contents

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m thinking about getting into selling NSFW content to earn some extra money, but I’m honestly clueless about how everything works. I have no experience with this, so I’m hoping to hear from people who started from scratch and can share some advice on how to get started, especially when it comes to platforms, finding buyers, and protecting my privacy. I’d really appreciate any honest advice. 🥹
