And then we leave school, and for many of us it goes a little downhill. We get a job and end up in mundane routine where we’re doing the same things day in, day out. We see the same people, have the same habits when we get home (such as flopping on the sofa and watching Netflix all night) are rarely do things that push us out of our comfort zones or allow our knowledge to expand.

Learn basic DIY

Basic DIY such as being able to paint your home neatly, hang wallpaper, drill holes to put up a shelf and other simple tasks around the home are useful to have. Sure you could pay a handyman to come and do these things, but they’re relatively simple and something you can learn yourself with a bit of research and practice. Just be sure to leave dangerous jobs to the professionals, and be careful with power tools if you don’t know how to use them.
