13 skills plan of attack in 2013

Ran across the 13 Skills Website courtesy ofhttp://lifehacker.com/skills Lifehacker.

What an excellent concept, you choose 12 skills you want to learn in 2013, sign up for the website then track your progress.

Blade Sharpening, Languages, Entrepreneurial skills etc

Then complete the self directed course of study and post your accomplishments.

The genius behind the concept is the vastness of the internet means there is a host of ways to learn various subjects, but no single place to help one to focus on actually obtaining results rather than just surfing the web and posting random stuff on various forums.


I have my strategy, low cost educational opportunities married to drive and unique ways of learning, if a skill does not meet this standard then it is not in an Economic Guerrilla's purview. The idea is maximize time for results not to spend huge sums of money for an esoteric education.

I've chosen:

Container Gardening, this skill works in the city or the country, it maximizes personal space for productivity
Entrepreneur, it is all fine to see opportunities, without the toolbox to act on them one is wasting ones time
Foreign Languages: Low cost learning that is portable.
Social Media: Great tool in the toolbox, all "free".
Tracking: pure fun, makes a hike in the woods more exciting
Herbal Remedies: where there is no doctor
Cryptography: an Economic Guerrilla guards their communications about important matters
Bartering: Wonderful use of the communication tools we have available to us
Accounting: Someone has to do the books
Organizational Skills: Herding cats without herding them, helps to gain insights.
Sprouting: High quality food for very low cost, can be done anywhere
Blade Sharpening: Great skill to have because lower cost foods tend to need more processing. And if a blade is carried for self defense, make sure it is sharp

Should make for a fun 2013
