When it comes to growing your technology skills, making a consistent plan for tackling your goals can be difficult, especially if you don’t have a schedule that lets you devote full-time hours to learning.

Luckily, Pluralsight has a variety of ways you can skill up regardless of the amount of time you have—whether you have a whole weekend to hunker down and learn, or just want to dive in quickly during a lunch break. To help you make the most of your time, we’ve compiled a list of things you can do on Pluralsight in 10 minutes, 10 hours or 10 days.

These activities are perfect for getting organized and setting a baseline in order to inform the rest of your skill development.

See how your skills stack up in a specific technology by taking a skill assessment to get your Skill IQ. Not only will your results include valuable information on your strengths and weaknesses, you’ll also get personalized learning recommendations for filling gaps in knowledge, so you can skip what you know and focus on what you don’t.

Getting started is always half the battle, so getting your ducks in a row before you dive in can be a helpful way to stay on-track. Channels help you organize your skill development by creating custom playlists of courses, paths and other resources outside of Pluralsight. They’re also shareable, so you and your team can stay on the same page.
