15 Steps to Cultivate Lifelong Learning

lifehack.org: "Assuming the public school system hasn’t crushed your soul, learning is a great activity. It expands your viewpoint. It gives you new knowledge you can use to improve your life. Even if you discount the worldly benefits, the act of learning can be a source of enjoyment.

But in a busy world, it can often be hard to fit in time to learn anything that isn’t essential. The only things learned are those that need to be. Everything beyond that is considered frivolous. Even those who do appreciate the practice of lifelong learning, can find it difficult to make the effort."

All in all, this seems like a useful list. I would argue though, that the idea of a "morning 15" is a little close minded. I usually like to come home from my day (weather I've been at school, work, or play) and spend a half hour or hour reading about something. Often, I had a question during the day which I can answer that evening. I find it a great way to decompress before starting whatever I'm doing later.
