• If time is scarce, click under the bottom left-hand corner of a Skillshare video and choose 2x to watch your classes at TWICE THE SPEED. I also watch classes when I’m walking on the treadmill or unloading the dishwasher.  Sometimes I’ll play marketing or productivity classes in the background as if I’m listening to a podcast. Then, later, when I’m ready to make art, I rewatch the specific lessons that I want to follow along with. 

• DOWNLOAD THE SKILLSHARE APP to your phone. To watch classes at 2x, click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the video screen to change the PLAY SPEED.

•  When you’re in Skillshare, search for a topic that YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT such as abstract painting, photography, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Canva, social media, marketing, Procreate, animation, writing, freelance, urban sketching, cute, art licensing, productivity, sewing, comics, fiction, editing, baking…

•  Whenever I want to learn something, the SKILLSHARE SEARCH BOX is my new search engine instead of Google. Skillshare is the Netflix of online learning. Skillshare has changed my life and I’ve watched over 120 ours in ten months.  

• Click the Browse drop down menu (to the left of the Search bar) and CHOOSE A CATEGORY to learn SKILLSHARE’S RECOMMENDATIONS. Category examples include Creative Writing, Film & Video, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, Web Development, Freelance & Entrepreneurship, Marketing, and Productivity.

• You can BOOKMARK Skillshare classes within the Skillshare website. When you are viewing a class’s thumbnail Cover Image (such as in a Skillshare search result page), click on the bookmark icon in the bottom right corner under the thumbnail.
• You can also create separate bookmark LISTS such as watercolor list or social media list or any name you choose. 

• I copy and paste a handful of Skillshare class URLs into an EMAIL to myself. This way, when it’s time to jump on the treadmill, I just open my recent email and click on the first Skillshare class URL. As a result, I don’t spend time scrolling through a long list and trying to decide which Skillshare class to watch.
