6 useful and surprising things you can do online

 

The internet is a world of weird, wacky and wonderful websites, where any bored or curious person can find themselves roaming for hours. And yet, many of us find ourselves stuck on the same tired platforms: Facebook or Twitter or our email inbox, scrolling through mindless content. 

 

But take the time to consider how best to utilise your time online and there are some wonderful opportunities out there. Whether it’s something productive you’re looking for or entertainment to pass time and have fun, there are websites for everything you can expect and more for what you can’t. 

 

Learn how to code

Coding is the new skill that everyone is learning these days – whether it be for a hobby, or for their careers. It’s useful as our daily lives head more and more towards the digital world, and the website codeacademy.com works to make the different kinds of coding more accessible and open to everyone. 

 

Speak a new language

Learning to speak a new language is no easy feat. But thanks to apps like duolingo.com, it is possible to make light work of your linguistic education through a smooth, interactive programme that features daily challenges and lessons. You’ll even get reminders pushed direct to your phone that helps to keep you focused and on top of your game! There’s a variety of languages to choose from so get started today.

 

Note take, organise and plan on Notion

Many people call Notion a note-taking tool, but it is a lot more than just that. A simple sign up through your email, and you’ll be introduced to a handy piece of software where you can plan, organise, and create everything from your career to your broader life goals. Efficiency is at the core of this website (which is also available in app format), so you can invite your colleagues, your friends and anyone you want onto separate pages to work with you as a team. 

 

Graphic design made easy

Everyone has their side hustle these days, and every side hustle needs an active and aesthetic social media. It can be daunting when you’ve never done any design before but websites like Canva are here to make your Instagram pop. With hundreds of prepared layouts and styles, it’s easy to make posters, business cards and social media posts that help your business be seen. And if you’re feeling a bit more confident, then websites like Figma are easy tools to use to create your own designs, as well as invite others to work with you. 

 

Voice your thoughts 

Ever thought you’ve got a lot to say about something you love but nowhere to say it and no one to hear it? Record your own podcast and post it through Anchor by Spotify (anchor.fm) for free! It has built in recording and editing tools so you can distribute your podcast and monetize on it as well. 

 

A new class every day

We all want to learn something new every day, to keep the mind fresh and young. With gohighbrow.com, you can get 5 minute classes emailed to you every morning, from experts themselves, varied from hundreds of topics. You can choose your topic or let the website decide and end each day having discovered a new life lesson. 

 

Stay healthy with ease

Online pharmacies offer a fast and convenient way for people to access medications from the comfort of their own home. Whether it’s elderly people who would otherwise struggle to get to a bricks and mortar pharmacy or indeed younger people looking to access sensitive medications and avoid embarrassment, online pharmacies like PostMyMeds have grown in popularity over the course of the last decade.
