# Welcome To Rumie

This is a _safe place_ for you to learn and build your skills.

We're a tech charity dedicated to making free learning accessible to everyone. 🌎🎓

## You Just Landed In Your First Byte

Bytes are short learning experiences (less than 10 minutes long) that make a key insight easy to learn and remember.

In fact, their chunked structure is 22% more effective than traditional learning.

Rumie is a library full of Bytes for you to explore. **New Bytes are published every day. 🤩**

## Building Towards Your Goals

Bytes build on each other, a few minutes at a time, building critical life and career skills that take you closer to your goals, like:

- [Choosing the right career path](https://learn.rumie.org/jR/bytes/how-can-i-find-a-career-path-using-ikigai/)

- [Becoming a more effective communicator](https://learn.rumie.org/jR/bytes/express-your-opinion-in-a-work-meeting/)

- [Improving your relationships](https://learn.rumie.org/jR/channels/relationship-pro)

- [Improving your mental health](https://learn.rumie.org/jR/channels/mental-health)

Because **Bytes are quick and commitment-free**, you can work towards your goals one step at a time (and discover new things you might not have known would be useful!).

### Did you know?

This Byte was created by a volunteer professional that wanted to share this insight to help you succeed - [no agenda, no cost.](https://learn.rumie.org/jR/bytes/welcome-to-rumie/)

## Replacing Social Media Time

**Did you know the average instagram session is 6 minutes long?**

What if you replaced one of those sessions a day with a Byte?

If you commit to opening Rumie once per day [when you would normally open a social media app](https://learn.rumie.org/jR/bytes/how-can-i-create-healthy-boundaries-with-social-media/), you'll feel better (and know more!) after just a few weeks.
