4 Supervillains of Learning

4 Supervillains of Learning

  • Digital deluge - Access to so much information leads to overload where we don't get the time to manage this information effectively. It adds stress to our life.
  • Digital distraction - Always-on ever-connected devices are making it difficult to stay focused. It leads to multitasking. Multitasking uses up the same fuel that we need to stay on task reducing productivity.
  • Digital dementia - Outsourcing some of brain's actions to smart devices - the habit of accessing instant information - makes part of the brain deteriorate from underuse. 
  • Digital deuction - Letting technology do the deduction for us (influence over which restaurant would be best, how to react to certain information, etc.) makes our problem-solving ability weaker.

The solution - It's up to you to choose how & how much you engage.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

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.

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!

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.
