After university, it's hard to get on with LIFE in capital. What I can tell from my experiences, schools didn't teach me important know-hows but interesting theories. However I find very challenging and hard to fit in everyday life. See the details below.
Time
It's not a common or easy task to manage your time. I mean I work 8 hours a day of course, but what about the rest? Questions bugging me on what to do after my duty, beside sports. I have a lot of ideas about projects and what to learn next, but how should I priorize them? For me, a day just not enough to do everything. Yes, you can say, maybe I'm an overachiever but that's how I work.
So nobody told me at university that there is a course on time-management. Because there wasn't. If I had known back then about Getting This Done, maybe I would have entered in this area with more confidence. So, I highly recommend GTD along with these productivity tools.
Money
Okay so money is unavoidable in everyday life. So you should at least keep track of it and plan with it. It's not too suprising when I say nobody taught me that. Especially when we talking about how to do it. I'm still in the experimenting phase. For example, there are bills what you should store and track, and also there are expenditures what you should not track but limit, say.. for a month. I did not found any usable books on a system like that, but let me know if you do.
However, one thing I actually learned during school. To ask and experiment. Asking questions is the most important part of my life, literally. For me, it means that I will have answers and I strongly believe in that. I haven't regretted this so far.
So if you are learning in school right now, keep asking questions. Whether you are interested or not. Because this is the way how you will learn, generally. You have to excercise that so many times that it will be a part of you without realizing it.
