Skills to learn in 2025
Going off of my New Year resolution post, I also wanted to include skills to learn in 2025. Many people don’t think about this aspect when it comes to starting a new year—at least I never did. But I want to start trying to learn a new skill in 2025, especially resilience, stress tolerance, and flexibility. I’m really not good at those, which is why I probably have a lot of anxiety lately.
Learning new skills is a great thing to start incorporating into your daily habits that way in a couple of months those skills will be like second nature and maybe you could start working on incorporating another skill.
Miscellaneous skills
In this list, you’ll find great skills to start incorporating in your year. I put these in a miscellaneous category because some of these might take a little longer than a year to learn and some might take a shorter time frame. I wanted to include these because they are great skills to start incorporating for jobs or if you want to start earning a little bit of money.
- Critical thinking
- Active learning and learning strategies
- Problem-solving
- Creativity, Originality, Initiative
- Leadership and social influence
- Resilience, stress tolerance, and flexibility
- Data Analyst
- Web development
- Project management
- Content creation and management
- Technology design and programming
What are some skills to learn in a year?
It’s a good idea to have a list of skills to learn in 2025 because it will allow you to grow and become a better person. I know a lot of people tend to think that the older you get the more you can’t learn new things. It’s one of those an old dog can’t learn new tricks sort of situations. I know that I have been guilty of this often. But I hate that saying. Your age has nothing to do with your ability to learn new things.
These skills to learn in a year are some great ideas to learn if they interest you. Some of these are some really in-demand skills that would be great to learn and a lot of these you could learn in a couple of months. There are some on this list that I think would be great to start learning now, especially in this day and age where things need to change to what they used to be such as getting off of our electronics and actually communicating with each other a little better.

Cool skills to learn
I wouldn’t necessarily say that all of these are “cool” skills to learn but a few of these are skills that I think that everyone should learn. Not all of these skills are a need to know skills but quite a few of them should be taught in school to everyone.
Hopefully one of these is going to be one of the skills to learn in 2025 for you.
