Christmas is looming, but there's so much to do!

Hello and happy October!
It’s the tenth month. Already. Winter is coming. Christmas is coming. And the memories of a holiday in the South of France are fading. A lot has happened since that 10 day holiday. Iâve worked on a FinTech project, Iâve spilled ginger beer on my laptop, Iâve fallen in love with Appleâs App Store UI design, my 3D After Effects class is up on Designers.how (https://designers.how/courses/animate-with-depth-after-effects?autoplay=1?utm_source=TapTapKaboom.com&utm_campaign=animate-with-depth-ae&utm_medium=Referral&utm_content=taptapkaboom) , and I know what it means for me to learn Dutch (or anything else) â I explain below.
Saying Yes means saying No
Hereâs a little of what Iâm writing about in Destroy Today: We canât do everything we want to do. Well, I canât anyway. Saying âyesâ to something means saying ânoâ to many other things (temporarily at least). For example, Iâve started a 6 month Dutch class where Iâll be spending 9-15 hours a week learning Dutch. That means I need to replace time spent on something/s with that Dutch time â I need to choose what to say ânoâ to for 6 months â and I will choose! Whether itâs consciously or unconsciously.
Become a teacher!
In October Iâm collaborating with Skillshare to lead their New Teacher Training! This training is designed to help new teachers (maybe you??) (http://bit.ly/2xC4oht) get their class up and running in 30 days. This is how I got into teaching. Itâs super fun and rewarding! I’ll be hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on October 18 (https://www.skillshare.com/amas/147) to answer any questions you have about teaching on Skillshare. If you’ve ever considered teaching your own class join the October Teach Challenge! (http://bit.ly/2xC4oht) Itâs not as scary as it sounds, and Iâm sure youâve got great skills and techniques others would love to learn â classes only need to be 10 minutes long, and can be on any topic you like!
For the JavaScript geeks
I love JavaScript and React. But Iâm not going to teach more-than-beginner classes on it just yet. So I chatted to Wes Bos, an awesome JavaScript teacher, and heâs given me a discount code for you to use if youâre keen on learning more about JavaScript and ES6 (http://bit.ly/2xRSNue) , React (http://bit.ly/2fFuFkD) , Node (http://bit.ly/2xU9PYN) , or Sublime Text (http://bit.ly/2xJuH2U) . The code is STUDENTHUSTLE and gives you 28% off. Pretty sweet I think. Iâve taken the React course and am in the middle of the Node course â they’re brilliant.
For the time geeks
I like geeks. And being geeky. So Iâm attempting to use the GMT or UCT timezone to schedule meetings in â Iâm tired of timezones and summer timezones and all that. Why not try it out with me?
As always, you guys rock and make my life way fun and cool â¤ï¸ð¦ðð
Much love â Rich
