A hack to double your learning time
You might not think you have five extra hours in the week, but you do. The simplest way is to stack learning on top of your current schedule. Areas where you can leverage double-time every day:
- Driving to and from work
- Exercise
- Socializing (friends can learn together and talk about it)
- Eating and food prep
- Doing housework or yard work.
With smartphones and the explosion of videos, podcasts, and audiobooks, you can learn while you do other things throughout your day.

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!
