Do you spend alot of time learning or educating yourself?

I spend the majority of my time in the day learning. I think it is the best way to keep my voices under control. I’m not sure why but it helps me more than anything else, except of course staying on top of taking medicine. When I am absorbed in a topic, it is almost like I don’t even have any symptoms like voices, and I feel just as good as if it doesn’t affect me. It also helps me feel good to feel like I am staying productive even while being unemployed. I have never been to get a degree, and I have no reason to really, but I still love learning.

The main way I do is by listening to books on Amazon Audible. They have a huge selection of audiobooks of all kinds, and I love to read non-fiction and science books that way.

Also, simple online research, especially Wikipedia, articles, and forums.

Lastly, I recently discovered “The Great Courses Plus”, where I have a subscription to watch hundreds of courses taught by excellent professors in all kinds of topics. There’s no homework or anything, you just watch videos of recorded classrooms made to be watched especially at home, it’s great.

So I am wondering if you spend alot of time learning?

If you have never tried, I really think it is good to do, and recommend it. Like I said, I don’t learn in traditional Universities but I don’t let it stop me. The only thing is to find credible sources, and try to not let your own biases lead you to get one side of the ideas on the topics.

constantly researching even stupid crap helps me a lot. If I am not using my thinking - it will use me. So if there was a job that paid to just learn and study and research - I’d like to know about it.

I spend a lot of time watching documentaries on Youtube. I watch a little stuff about astronomy. I also watch stuff about the military. I watch stuff about social issues. It’s made me a lot better informed than I was before I started watching all this.

No I don’t I can’t use my brain. I feel terrible if I read or watch sth seriously. Just can’t. Need to quit in 3 minutes. If I do it for 5 mins, I feel want to die.
