Ask HN: What Skills to Acquire in 2020?
Some suggestions:- Build something. A new workbench for your office. Fix up an old car.  Build a pull-up bar in your garage.  Use your hands, cut some wood and metal, and treat yourself to a new tool or two. Do this with every project and you will have a nice tool collection before you know it.- Learn to take pictures on a manual camera.  You can do this with a modern automatic camera if it has a manual mode.  Learn about ISO, f-stop, and shutter speed and the interplay of those three variables.  There's a fantastic multi-part tutorial on Reddit that can help you learn these things. I don't have the link handy but you can Google for it.- Set a goal of cooking for yourself at least two nights a week and eating leftovers two nights a week.  Buy a binder and some clear inserts and start to put together your own book of favorite recipes.- Take a nightly walk.- Listen to classical music. This one didn't come to me until my 40s but I finally realized: there's a reason that this music has been popular for 300 years. Opera is great, too. Listen to Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro".  Download the KUSC app and listen to the amazing Metropolitan Opera broadcast every Saturday morning at 10 AM Pacific.
