Even if you shoot in auto mode, 35mm has much larger viewfinder and you will find yourself taking more time to compose a shot. Getting pictures developed takes time, and you can appreciate the results (good or bad) and apply them towards improving your digital images. Sony A6000, 16-50PZ, 55-210, 35mm 1.8 OSS

Sometimes it's nice to think about the shot using "what you brung" rather then wasting time thinking about what lens to use and switching all the time. This will improve how you choose a lens for a given situation. Sony A6000, 16-50PZ, 55-210, 35mm 1.8 OSS

Learn to use off camera flash, mounting in on a bracket, holding it off to the side or mounted onto a lightstand ala Stroboist style.

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | If you carry your gear in a backpack or similar style bag, make sure you zip the zippers all the way to one side or the other instead of up at the top. If they are at the top, the weight of the gear can pull the zippers apart while you walk... - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife
