Chooseday 9th December, Choose a Micro-Learning Moment

Good Morning,

Did you know your brain never stops growing? It’s malleable, capable of forming new connections and expanding every single day — but only if you give it something new to explore.

Every moment you feed your mind with fresh ideas, you’re strengthening your curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills. 🌟 

So why not make today a Micro-Learning ChooseDay?

You don’t need hours or expensive courses — even 15–30 minutes of focused learning can make a difference. Here are a few ways to spark your mind:

• Watch a TED Talk or a short documentary that challenges the way you think

• Listen to a podcast on a topic you know little about — from science and history to innovation and personal growth

• Try a mini online course or skill-building activity — even a single lesson can expand your perspective... try Acumen!

• Read an article or explore a new topic outside your usual interests

• Reflect and share — take a few minutes to jot down what you’ve learned, or share a new insight with a friend or colleague

And here’s a fascinating fact: in 2020–21, over 42% of Australian adults aged 15–74 engaged in some form of study or training — whether it was formal education like courses and certifications, or informal learning like workshops, podcasts, or personal projects.

Beyond that, more than 1.2 million Australians took part in personal-interest learning outside of school or work, exploring topics simply for the joy of knowledge. This shows that Australians are embracing lifelong learning, recognising that expanding our minds doesn’t stop after school or university.

Why does this matter?

🧠 Because research shows that learning continuously has profound benefits: it improves memory, cognitive function, and problem-solving skills, reduces stress, and even supports better mental health and overall life satisfaction.

Every time we feed our curiosity, we’re not just accumulating facts — we’re strengthening our brains, opening ourselves to new perspectives, and cultivating the kind of growth that lasts a lifetime. (ABS)

💡 Speaking of learning… here’s a chance to extend that growth to a child who truly needs it. For just $10, you can help a child expand their mind and unlock their potential:

• Help a child with disabilities learn

• Provide an education pack with 100 Hope

• Keep children in school with Asian Aid

  
  

When you choose curiosity today, you’re doing more than feeding your own mind — you’re helping shape a world where knowledge, opportunity, and growth are shared.

Every small act of learning, combined with every small act of giving, creates a ripple effect that can truly change lives.

So take a moment. Open a book. Click a play button. Ask a question. Reflect. Share your insight. And if you can, give a child the gift of learning at the same time — because curiosity isn’t just contagious; it’s transformative.

✨ Choose curiosity. Choose growth. Choose to make a difference.
