Websites are great because you don’t have to rely on a device storage space in order for you to access them. All you need is an internet connection. Here’s a list that I’ve compiled (again because the previous one got deleted) of useful websites that I’ve been using and some of them I recently got to know about. Bookmark this article for future reference and with that aside, Let’s get the list rolling!

I’ve talked about dictation.io site in this article but so much can be done using this tool! You can also make money using it through this nifty little trick that I wrote about.
I’m sure most of you might be familiar with the above sites but the list would be incomplete without them all. Add a bit more spice to your resume by doing free or paid online courses using these amazing sites.
As a non-native speaker of English, it happens to me sometimes that the word I want to add to a sentence slips from my mind and it is lingering there just outside my grasp. This website is great for solving that issue. It helps me remember that word that I want to use instead of settling with a meh sounding synonym.
” If you’re worried that you don’t have any interests, browse in the nonfiction section of a library for five minutes. By then a book will catch your eye, whether it’s about baking pie crusts or Icelandic crust formation.”
” Generally speaking, if your cat nudges your feet in the morning, it wants to stay inside. If it nudges your face, it wants to go out.”
