+<p>It can feel daunting in this developer &#47; designer landscape to keep yourself up-to-date with the latest and greatest technologies available. Which new framework should I invest the most time into? Will it even be maintained a couple years down the road? Is it just a fad?</p>
+<p>What about programming languages? Should I learn as many as possible or should I become an expert in one specialized area? <em>Should designers code?</em> The list of possible <em>new</em> things you could be learning continues to grow.
+This is sarcasm. Please don&#8217;t take this seriously&#8230;</p>
+<h2 id="jumping-right-in">Jumping right in</h2>
+<p>Want my advice? Pick something and dive head first into it. Don&#8217;t worry if it&#8217;s not the most popular programming language or if it&#8217;s a new design system that isn&#8217;t gaining much traction. Do you find it interesting? Awesome - that&#8217;s what matters most. How can you teach yourself something new when you have <em>zero</em> interest in it?</p>
+<h2 id="less-talk-more-action">Less talk, more action</h2>
+<p>So what am I currently doing to keep my mind fresh and thinking outside of my comfort zone?</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Teaching myself the R programming language</li>
+<li>Deep diving into the <code>ggplot2</code> package</li>
+<li>Developing my first side project website using <code>blogdown</code> and Hugo</li>
+<li>Trying out Figma as my exclusive design program for the next few months</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Programming your brain to learn something new can be frustrating and pull you out of your comfort zone. Don&#8217;t let this become stressful - instead use it as inspiration to push yourself through the struggle.</p>
+<p>There is no real reason to avoid learning something new outside your current circle of knowledge - only crappy excuses.</p>
+<p>Get on it.</p>
