I spend a lot of time learning new things. For the past couple years I've been focused on learning Javascript but also boning up on CSS and HTML5. I do most of this on a "need to know" basis most everyday, and on a "curious to know" basis when I'm curious, which is pretty often. As for improving, first I labor on getting my code working and that, for me, can be a pretty messy process. Afterwards I look for ways to improve it and clean it up. I generally learn a lot doing that. Aside from that, I read "How To" articles (a lot), and also spend time browsing APIs, and as soon as I need to figure out how to do something I do a web search on it and go read up on it. For example, I saw a link about "Learning Javascript" here a week or so ago and went and read the article. It was pretty good and I learned a bit from it. It had an exercise to find numbers in a "fibonacci" sequence which was fun. It was pretty simple exercise in logic but since I'd never played with it I found it interesting and kept poking at it a bit more :D
