19. Gamify Your Learning. Curiosity is constantly learning but why not change the way you learn. Have a little bit of fun and gamify your learning.
20. Make Google Your Best Friend. We live on the internet non-stop, but why not use Google to build curiosity. Google words or subjects / topics that you don't know anything about. Google words as images or illustrations. Make Google your best friend for today.
21. Learn A New Language. When we start learning a new language we become more aware on how words and sentences are put together in that language, enabling us to open our minds.
22. Watch Documentaries. Research and watch some documentaries to get inspired and learn.
23. Ask Why And How Questions. Curious people ask 'why' and 'how' to find out further information from the people they are speaking with.
24. Keep Your Mind Active. If we can keep our mind active with questions and openness, new ideas will come and we will see more possibilities.
25. Recognise Patterns. When doing things today, try and recognise any patterns that stand out. If you can't find one, search out for patterns.
26. Start A Blog. With all the information your taking in or all the questions you're asking as you move through your day, perhaps you could start a blog to put all your learnings in one place. This will also allow you to keep exploring and maintain curiosity in everyday life.
27. Stop Watching TV. Switch off your TV for a week and be in the moment, explore other ways of keeping yourself occupied. You'll be surprised at how much more you take in.
28. Check Out Quora. Explore Quora, read through some new topics or questions. Even ask a few questions yourself.
29. Limit Your Time On Social Media. Spend less time on social media and more time with people.
30. Pay Attention To Processes. Pay attention to the mechanics of things, how things work, processes.
31. Don't Forget About Your Curiosity. As it's our last day for this month's theme Curiosity. It's important to not forget that curiosity is an emotion that we often supress or forget about. Move forward remembering that we all have curiosity within us and need to be mindful to pay attention and bring it out often.
