Personal financial literacy (single most important factor for long-term wealth building)
Basic understanding of nutrition and exercise (the caveat is that there's a LOT of bad information or irrelevant information out there. Going from zero to some knowledge is hugely beneficial).
Meditation (you can immediately observe the novelty of meditating if you have never done it before; I won't say it's incredibly useful but it can be nice)
Household repair (look up how to fix something yourself whenever the opportunity comes up; use your judgment though)
