Volunteering to write research summaries for Faunalytics, an animal advocacy organization, improved my writing skills.
Reading Cal Newport’s blog and books has improved my productivity skills. I’d recommend Deep Work to anyone, and college students might like his blogging on student success.

I found the Unlocking Your Employability course on EdX had a lot of useful activities for improving self-marketing.

I would also add CFAR as probably the most helpful tool I’ve gotten for improving productivity and decision-making in both personal and professional contexts. :)
