What did you always want to learn but have never found the time for?

We all dream of learning a certain skill that we somehow never really find the time to learn.
I would love to be able to produce music, but I never really found the time to do so and figure it all out.
What's yours?

@jason_andries1 Piano or guitar! Although I find it difficult to read music sheets so it'll definitely be a challenge.

@jason_andries1 have you found any helpful tutorials? I've only found either super basic ones that explain how the buttons on the controller work or the advanced ones where they are doing a great job but I don't understand what's happening haha

@jason_andries1 super lucky indeed! i need new friends :D
i'm into house and techno mainly. you?
@monika_myzenteam I started learning during the pandemic, but it has sense fallen to the wayside. I would highly recommend just watching a lot of videos by Dj Carlo on YouTube. This will let you get an idea of how lots of transitions and techniques work and how they can be used together. You don't really need a tutorial on each of these, just an solid awareness of what's possible and the ability to hear a cool transition or effect and make a knowledgable guess as to how you'd pull it off yourself.
Launching soon!
JavaScript. I know a little bit, but never really learned it properly.
I guess I wonβt need to with no-code website builders like Webflow and Framer.

@adhamdannaway Same here. JavaScript has been on my back burner for several years. I know a bit but cannot fully utilize it the way I would like to.
@adhamdannaway if u want saas application then you do, check out freecodecamp and https://roadmap.sh/javascript
Foreign languages like Spanish, French, Italish.

@jason_andries1 Yeah. And some languages are similar so it is easier to learn them.
@busmark_w_nika Same! I've been learning Spanish off and on for years but have never managed to become as fluent as I am in English

Music.
I have listened and studied different genres for years, but spoken word beats them all.
Spoken word is music without a catchy chorus or ridiculous beat. It's just you, your listeners, and a smooth moment of synergy.
And after you get your first head nod or shout --- it's addicting!

@jason_andries1 capella and poetry. Today's music seems a bit off in terms of creating stories. It's killing brain cells in our future generations lol

I always wanted to go back to school but I had to work. So when the time comes and I have the leisure of that extra time, I will surely take criminology or forensic psychology.

@jason_andries1 I have always been a people person so community management and leadership is close to my heart. As I am also a person who has a very curious mind, I would like to know more about solving a crime. I think we need more of those specialists here in the Philippines, and it would really be so cool to be one. But yeah, still a dream and I am not getting any younger. But who knows? :)

It could be better to ask about books)) that you wanted to start "but have never found the time for?"

There is one thing that I have always wanted to learn but have never found the time for: riding a motorcycle. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the freedom and adventure that seemed to come with being able to hop on a motorcycle and hit the open road. I remember watching motorcycle enthusiasts ride by, the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces, and feeling a sense of longing and envy.
As I got older, I kept telling myself that I would eventually learn how to ride a motorcycle, but somehow, life always seemed to get in the way. Between work, family commitments, and other responsibilities, there was always something more pressing that needed my attention.
But even though I never found the time to pursue my dream of learning to ride a motorcycle, it is still something that I think about from time to time. Maybe one day, when I have a little more free time on my hands, I will finally take the plunge and learn how to ride. Until then, I'll have to content myself with the memories of what could have been.

@jason_andries1 If I had the opportunity to pick any motorcycle, I would definitely choose a cruiser bike. Cruiser bikes are known for their relaxed riding position, comfortable seats, and classic styling. They are perfect for taking long, leisurely rides and soaking in the scenery. Some of my favorite cruiser bikes include the Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail, the Indian Chief, and the Yamaha V-Star. All of these bikes offer a smooth and comfortable ride, and they have a timeless, iconic look that never goes out of style.

@jason_andries1 I guess my challenge now would be giving time to actually learn it lol thanks for this!
I want to learn guitar, also never find the time to practice :-(

Music!
I've had lessons in guitar, ukulele, keyboard, and djembe (drum). But never had time to be consistent or practice.

@jason_andries1 I practice ukulele & djembe sometimes, but I doubt I'd do it justice
