Since this is a startup community i'd say two things: - Set yourself a goal (a small project) and try to code it in whatever suits you best, do a brief comparison and start learning by doing. Tool/language doesn't really matter, everyone will pour water on their own wheel anyway - Get out, meet friends, excercise, take it easy :)

Thanks tzaman. Your second point makes me feel good already :)

My pleasure. I think personal well-being is important if you want to be productive in any field.

I am taking a month off to do something new. What would you recommend I learn? Hammer, screwdriver, tablesaw or anything else? The point is: what do you want to achieve? If in doubt, spend the month figuring that out.

lol! funny, but you drive home the point. I guess I am confused because I have many ideas (for example, iphone apps that keeps popping in my head, or a web educational app etc). Hindsight, I did the post in a hurry.

I'm serious though. It's the best way to spend time, too.
