I like to learn stuff hands-on, with a manual as a backup. At my
previous job, when I heard of a new tool or technique (hardware or
software, from within the company or without), I'd make a note of it on
a Post-It note. Every Friday afternoon (barring pressing work
commitments) I'd spend the time between lunch and quitting time
exploring these new tools.

It worked out pretty well, and some of the tool knowledge I gained still
serves me well. I'm trying to fit that sort of system into the flow of
my current job.

My words are my own. Confuse them with my employer's at your own risk.
