Ways you can purposefully converge

  • Decide on a particular deliverable you will produce by a specific time, then discard any information that’s not strictly necessary
  • Set a deadline and promise to deliver a draft to someone who will hold you accountable
  • Make an outline with the step-by-step sequence of points you want to cover
  • Chunk related tasks within your project into clear groups
  • Prioritise your tasks from most to least important
  • Give yourself defined periods to make progress
  • Stop researching and focus on summarising your current notes.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton
